Get on the 'Bus . . .

A step-by-step guide to interconnecting JavaBeans.

InfoBus is an absolute salvation for Java programmers waiting for the technology that will finally allow separate JavaBeans to share and exchange information across Web pages. Already adopted by Novell, IBM, America Online, Symantec, and Oracle, InfoBus' momentum is growing quickly, and this straightforward, programmer-friendly book is a perfectly timed handbook for creating enterprise-ready JavaBeans with InfoBus. Packed with JavaBeans source code and ready-to-use Java applications.

InfoBus allows JavaBeans to share data with each other. It is designed jointly by JavaSoft and Lotus.

1.0 out of 5 stars An amazingly bad book, December 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Connecting JavaBeans with InfoBus (Paperback)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible prose but only one on the market, July 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Connecting JavaBeans with InfoBus (Paperback)

The book's prose is terrible! The author could have expressed the same concepts in half the words. I swear Dan Quayle wrote this book. An example (p. 60):

"HOW DOES INFOBUS AFFECT JAVABEANS AND JAVA APPLETS?

This is a very good topic to discuss. Notice that it is posed as a question. This means that the topic needs attention. InfoBus is a pure Java solution. The way things look with InfoBus, it may seem like a competitor to other Java technologies; however, that is not the case at all. Many contradictions do exist in the industry about it, and [sic] good understanding of them is essential at this point."

Please! Just give me the information on InfoBus! After reading 100 pages just like the above, I came to Amazon.com to be rescued from this horrible abyss. Sadly, no other books on InfoBus are available, yet. It's too bad, too, because InfoBus looks like a good technology.

1.0 out of 5 stars English is the author's second (or third) language, October 10, 1999

This review is from: Connecting JavaBeans with InfoBus (Paperback)

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.
