Rating: - Better with the book than without
After taking the exam (and passing it) solely using this Guide, I have some feedback on it. The conversational style and illustrations make it quite easy to read.

Rating: - Read the readme.txt!!!
You won't be able to do the exercises unless you read, very carefully, the instructions in the book's readme.txt. Thanks to another reviewer, I learned this and was able to get beyond page 65. The instructions in the book for loading the start-up files needed for the labs are wrong, and won't work!

I bought this book for the certification, exam #285. Definitely incomplete. There is about 50% of the exam covered in this book.
Conclusion, use the redbooks on ibm web site, otherwise, work a lot with wsad, then you might pass the exam (beginners, forget about this book if you want to pass the exam).
Rating: - Great Intro to WSAD and J2EE Development In General
I found this book to be an excellent introduction to both using WSAD and to J2EE Application Development in general. I quickly learned (being a newbie to both) and highly recommend it as a first step- especially if you are new to both.
Getting workspaces set up was difficult until I more carefully read the documentation and realized that "Project Interchange" was needed to do so. After that it was no problem.
