Rating: - Superb Introduction to J2EE
I continue to recommend this book to people who are unfamiliar with the Java Enterprise platform. This book is well-written and easy to digest--the perfect introductory book!
Rating: - A book with no target audience
This is quite possibly the worst book ever written. I've actually not finished reading it, and probably never will; I've tried three times, but end up putting it down after 20 pages every time I pick it up.

Rating: - Disappointing
The book is full of "cutesiness" which makes the book much longer than it need be.
Conversely - what the book lacks is a good solid explanation, with detailed examples, of basic elements of J2EE like the Home_interface Component/Local/Remote interface - and how they actually tie-in with the Clients and RDBMS.

Rating: - Great non-techie intro
Good non-techie intro. I'm now ready for a technical introduction to J2EE.
It helps to have an introduction to enterprise architecture (i.e. Martin Fowler Enterprise Patterns) before moving on to this book.
Rating: - Sound non-technical explanations of J2EE 1.4
Sun does a lot of things right with their Java products, but one thing they do wrong is in how they name their versions of Java. J2EE 1.4 is an environment that allows you to do very many things. Short for Java 1.(2) Enterprise Edition, it is a set of tools used to write large, distributed applications, although from the name, it is hard to discern that fact. Since distributed applications have many parts, simply understanding how those parts can be put together is a major undertaking. This book is designed ... Read More
