Great starter kit - gets down to the brass tacks

JBoss: A Developer's Notebook continues with the pragmatic appproach followed by the other books in the series. A series of clear, succinct examples on getting up and running with JBoss are the primary method used to present the content of the book. Most examples build on a previous example so it is best to cover them in a linear fashion. After execution of the examples, the user should have a good understanding of how JBoss operates, what it takes to deploy an application on JBoss and how to use the built-in features such as the Web Console.

If you are trying to dive into the details of JBoss in order to solve a complex setup issue or trying to fully understand one aspect of the application, then this is probably not the book for you. The depth of the information in the book is appropriate for it's scope as a developers notebook but it is not a reference manual.

Overall, if you want to learn the basics of JBoss quickly or stand up an instance with minimal research, you have come to the right place.
