Rating:  - Not for me
I was looking for a book on J2EE that would help me get through a job interview. I know programming, but I have no J2EE experience. I was looking for a quick overview that would teach me some vocabulary and concepts ... enough to not sound like a total dope on the interview.
This book COMPLETELY failed to meet my expectations. It was poorly written and assumed you already knew everything about J2EE. J2EE terms were used and never defined or explained.
Rating:  - Would definitely recommend
All J2EE technologies that came until 2007 in one book. It helped me gain real good understanding on issues related to performance. Author has very good knowledge on issues related to J2EE.
Cons are the price. Maybe book is a little bit overpriced. Maybe should reduce by 5$ to get more buyers. But there is good content.
Rating:  - A great book to do java interview preparation
It is really a great book and have many good interview questions. When I was done with this book it improved my theoritical knowledge and boosted my confidence for interviews.
Rating: - An excellent book not just for interviews
An excellent book. Not only for the J2EE interviews but a very good book for refreshing Java/J2EE concepts. Many times, it happens that, we would have worked on a particular technology very well a while ago, but we may not be able to answer even fundamental questions if we do not refresh our knowledge before interview. That is where this book will be very useful.
Rating:  - Good content, terribly written
This book covers most of the topics one might need for a J2EE interview, and in that sense it is a good book. Quite adequate for reviewing before interviews just as I'm doing.
However, even if it is a technical book, it should be written using adequate English grammar and using good writing techniques. Just as J2EE has its tricks, so does English. A more professional layout would also be useful. The book needs an editor. Urgently.
