Rating:  - Full of typos
The source code was obviously not proofread. Beyond that, the book is quite readable.
Rating:  - ZERO STARS. Did this book have an editor?
Total waste of money. As I started reading it, I started to notice coding mistakes everywhere. I thought I was just misunderstanding the topic but then it became clear that these are really mistakes! It is obvious that the code examples were never compiled and tested! Just incredible. Hibernate isn't an easy topic when first encountered, but even a Struts code example has a glaring error!
Any book with code examples should have zero errors in the code - we have had the technology ... Read More
Rating: - Are you kidding me?

For the love of God please take this joke off the shelves. I've never felt so cheated on a tech book ... Read More
Rating: - A really bad book - do not buy
I'm a fan of a lot of Wrox books - I probably own 15-20 of them. This is the wost one I have ever bought.
When learning a new technology with a book, I like to start with an overview, then some simple examples. I read the chapters that cover those start to finish. I then selectively read other parts of the book where I need more detailed knowledge, and save the rest of the book for reference on an as-needed basis. This book was laid out (if you simply look at the Table of Contents) as ... Read More
