Connecting JavaBeans with InfoBus

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Content and Information
Review: I gave 5 stars for this book, because this is an excellent book on InfoBus. I found the examples very helpful and the explanations easy to read. I recommend this to anyone who are using this technology. I specially like the fact that the author details an InfoBus design model and then shows you how to create a data and file lock controller. Interesting chapters clarify and examine the relationship and access methods between InfoBus and JDBC, RMI and CORBA using business oriented applications that solve specific problems.

Summary: English is the author's second (or third) language
Review: The technical information contained in this book could have been written in a pamphlet. The rest of the writing is garbage. The author's writing style is tuned for beginners of computers, not to advanced IT professionals. Wiley aims their publications for high-end developers, but has failed with this book.

Rating:
Summary: An amazingly bad book
Review: This book is one of the worst written books I've ever seen. I bought it as an impulse buy when I saw "InfoBus" in the title - I'd really like to know more about this. And it may well be that there's a lot of information here, but wading through the rambling, disorganized text is frustrating beyond belief. I made it through 100 pages, but I doubt that there was a single page that wasn't painful to read. I'm going to see if I can get my money back.
