Product Description
If you're a J2EE software engineer looking to add a little Flash to your front-end, Reality J2EE: Architecting for Flash MX shows you how to integrate Flash and Java using best-practice principles in design, architecture, and software development. The only book to explain Flash from a J2EE developer's perspective, Reality J2EE: Architecting for Flash MX takes you through the complete development of an online banking application, using test-driven development to 'design by intention' the server-side Java (using Junit and EJBUnit) and client-side ActionScript (using ActionScript Unit Testing), refactoring best-practice J2EE architectures to accommodate a Flash user interface. Rather than stick you with the student role, this book makes you a full-fledged member of a real-world development team, allowing you to sit in on the process of designing the applications, discussing development problems, and brainstorming to find solutions, with the result being a real, usable product.

Rating: - Excellent Book
This book is very well done. The author teaches you not only how to combine Flash and J2EE to make dynamic web sites, but he also teaches you some best practices in the process. You will learn how to use Flash Remoting to connect to a Java backend and you will learn how to design, develop and unit test the whole thing. Using extreme programming techniques, great emphasis is made on properly unit testing each example. This is a sign that the author is a true veteran developer. I emailed the author ... Read More
