Buy this only if you already know Java EE - 2008-03-31
Reviewer Rating:
This book makes sense only if you already know Java EE, but in that case you don't need it. One of the worst tutorial I've ever seen. Wasted a lot of time trying to understand what it says, but that's so hard because it keeps referring to concepts that are be not covered until later chapters (forward referencing). The examples are working, but no clear explanation on what each of them does, how to reassemble them, etc. No step by step guide. Even concepts aren't explained well enough.

There is a new version available of this book. It was updated in October of 2008 and, best of all, it's a free download. Just google "The Java EE 5 Tutorial" and you'll find it on Sun's website. It's also available as a PDF.

Pulp fiction? - 2009-08-05

I'm very disappointed in this book. It conveys little in the way of what goes in to the development, and deployment, of J2EE applications. You're left scratching your head, wondering, how a J2EE app.' went from code to production. There is no continuity in their step-by-step process (i.e. process of developing and deploying an EJB, etc.). It would've been nice if they talked more about descriptors and creating Ant files to deploy J2EE apps, but instead they rely on NetBeans. This book is another example of the industry spewing out trash just to make a buck!

A Good Teaching Book - 2008-12-14

This book is a good self-studying book. It provides JavaEE knowledge systematically with good examples, which helps understanding JavaEE.

Un libro muy recomendable - 2008-10-21
Reviewer Rating:
Es un libro de referencia muy bueno, realizado por los de Sun.

De volumen es un tocho (casi 1400 p ginas) pero si lo usas como referencia de trabajo tienes toda la informaci-ón necesaria sobre java EE.

Muy recomendable.
