The definitive text - a must have on all shelves

I almost missed out on reading this book after seeing some of the negative reviews. However, I had $40 burning a hole in my pocket when browsing and decided to take the hit and just see for myself. After the first read my initial thought was "WOW!", then the next thought was "Did the negative reviewers read the same book?"This is a great text, whether or not it's entirely up to date is pretty immaterial.

One of the best books on J2EE

I'm an independent consultant and have been doing a lot of J2EE work over the years. Now that 1.4 is on the horizon I'm getting lots of questions from my clients and requests to migrate stuff to it.

The authors obviously know their stuff, and by the time I was finished I felt that...

Best J2EE book on the market!

Excellent book to understand concepts of J2EE

I happened to read some excerpts from the book and I feel that they have taken an extra effort to make the audience understand the concepts before getting into the details unlike other books. Most chapters start off with a simple-world scenario which tends to get you interested in the topic rather than make you close the book!!! I would highly recommend this book. The concepts are precise and easy to understand. They should...
