Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development (Programmer to Programmer) Review by Dennis Forcier
Ignore the publication date
Frankly, this book has gotten a little long in the tooth. One might say that, from the products it mentions and evaluates, it is out of date. But never mind!
Rod applies principles that never go out of date - only the examples do - or seem to. A product is stuck with its basic design forever. Thus a critique of the 2002 version of Struts is as valid as a critique of the 2007 version.
Pros: Readable. Insightful. It will make you a better architect.
Cons: Typos (how do chapters get mis-numbered in the ToC?!?) It really should be in a high-quality hard binding (though the binding is quite good for paper).
Summary: 'J2EE Design...' is worth much more than its weight in gold. Buy it. READ IT!
