Enterprise Java Programming with IBM WebSphere, Second Edition

Rating:
Summary: Every Java programmer should read this
Review: The design advice contained in this book in invaluable for anyone building Enterprise Java applications. It's not just about programming but about architecture and design. The forward by Martin Fowler says it all: "If you're a WebSphere developer, buy this book for its tutorial on WebSphere, but treasure it for its design advice. If you don't develop in WebSphere, or even J2EE, get this book for its design advice anyway." The book is well organized, has great examples, and is easy to use as either a text-book or "how to" and as a reference for more experienced readers. The chapters on "developing and testing" (servlets, JSPs, domain models) are practical, comprehensive and easy to follow. This book isn't just theoretical - it really takes you through having something up and running on your machine. Buy this book and keep it on your desk.

Summary: Dont buy this book
Review: The title is "Enterprise Java Programming with IBM WebSphere" but the book does not teach you how to programm with IBM WebSphere. The book covers very high level and briefly leaving you in the dark.
