Rating: - Absolutely no support - outdated
Please don't buy this book. Material is no longer pertinent nor supported. IBM Press has a more applicable book for the renamed WebSphere Studio...
Rating: - Horrible and almost useless book for the cerification!
Spelling errors, wrong figures, inadequate examples, chapters not in order and more! CAUTION: the trial version of Websphere will STOP working after Dec 31, 2005 and is good only for 60 days! Unacceptable. I just bought the book in Nov 2005. No errata on the publisher's web site either. I have never seen such a useless certification book. Buy "Enterprise Java Programming with IBM WebSphere" (unfortunately from IBM Press as well). Be also wary of a good review written by the editor himself!
Rating: - Don't buy this
Worst book ever.
The intention of this book is to guide you through an example to understand WSAD 5.0. This starts roughly at page 19. On page 21, the illustrations no longer match the example and you WILL get a compile error. Now, with a little luck, I was able to continue with the example until page 30, where I'm completely stuck!
I would certainly give this book 0 stars if it was possible. Don't buy it! You WILL be disappointed!
Rating: - I AM APPALLED!
The book has absolutely NO source code provision and you cannot just decipher the code from the steps outlined in the book.
Then when I tried to go to the mcpressonline.com site to contact the authors I was unable to do so and I was unable to even post a review of the book over there (DESPITE spending 15 minutes registering).
If you just want to read what the people are writing without testing out the sample code then this is the book for you... but then you might as well ... Read More
