To succeed in today's challenging business environment, companies need software developers who can implement integrated enterprise-wide applications and satisfy the demands of customers whose needs continue to evolve. Not only can you become that enterprise developer, but you can also be certified by IBM in the greatest technology available to provide those solutions. Developed in cooperation with the team that created the exam, this book is the only certification study guide endorsed and recommended by IBM for test 287. It is designed to prepare you to fulfill the role of IBM Certified Enterprise Developer, supporting the jCert Enterprise Developer Job Role, which represents the highest level of Web and enterprise development. Howard Kushner has assembled a team of WebSphere experts from around the world. These experts have gathered and presented in this book a wealth of information you need to become certified. All of the contributors are experienced WebSphere developers and instructors with excellent track records of developing and delivering high quality education and superior products to WebSphere students and users. Stay abreast of the latest standards and tooling. This book examines the most recent version of J2EE (Version 1.3) and shows you how to take advantage of the rich set of features and functionality included in the WebSphere platform. It will guide you through the myriad of views and perspectives as well as the J2EE roles. With this information, you can build, test, assemble, and deploy enterprise applications the WebSphere way. In response to increasing scrutiny of enterprise application performance and the overwhelming demand for performance analysis, expanded coverageon application profiling and performance tuning is included. In addition, the book includes chapters on J2EE security and the J2EE Connection Architecture (JCA) for connecting to heterogeneous Enterprise Information Systems. By taking a logical progression throughout the book, the authors skillfully combine theory with examples to teach you the best practices in developing, testing, assembling, deploying, and managing enterprise applications. Later chapters build on and incorporate the principles presented earlier, so your understanding increases as you continue. A "Test Yourself" section at the end of each chapter helps you measure your progress and keeps you on track. The study guide provides authoritative coverage on all certification topics. This book is the equivalent of weeks of classroom training that would cost thousands of dollars and is just what you need to prepare for exam 287.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Comprehensive book for dev and certification,
By
This review is from: Developing J2EE Applications with WebSphere Studio: IBM Certified Enterprise Developer (IBM Certification Study Guides) (Paperback)
I initially got this book mainly as a prep for the IBM Cert exam but then discovered that there's tons of great stuff for development and testing. I've usually had to dig into a number of sources for this stuff, if I could even find the info. It's all here in this book. I especially found the profling chapter informative. I'd wondered about WSAD's profiler and usefulness but couldn't find much info on it. This book's got tons in it. Worth getting if you're doing any serious dev in WSAD 5.

Not just a certification guide,
By
This review is from: Developing J2EE Applications with WebSphere Studio: IBM Certified Enterprise Developer (IBM Certification Study Guides) (Paperback)
This book is written to serve two goals. First, it is a guide for anyone using WebSphere Studio to develop enterprise applications. Second, it is a study guide for those intending on taking IBM Certification Test 287. Due to the dual nature of these goals there may be certain parts of the book that someone studying for the certification test is already familiar with especially when it comes to knowledge of the basics of WebSphere Studio. However, the excellent coverage of the test objectives makes this a minor issue. For the person looking for a guide to enterprise development using WebSphere, this book will get them quickly up to speed. The various pieces of J2EE are explained briefly while how they are programmed using WebSphere Studio is very well explained. The book does not serve as a complete primer on Servlets, JSPs, EJBs, etc but it does serve as an excellent guide to programming these in WebSphere Studio and installing them in WebSphere Application Server. For the person looking to study for the IBM certification exam, they will find an excellent guide that clearly identifies each objective of the test and points to which chapter covers which objectives. The one thing missing however is sample test questions. Although some sample questions are available on the IBM web site, additional questions and study advice would have been helpful. Overall, I can recommend this book for either those using WebSphere Studio for development or those intending on taking the certification exam.

Great Study Guide and Multipurpose too!,

This review is from: Developing J2EE Applications with WebSphere Studio: IBM Certified Enterprise Developer (IBM Certification Study Guides) (Paperback)
Not only is this a great study guide for the 287 test, it can also help you prepare for the 484 (chapters 3-10). I am also finding this book indespensible as a reference for making performance tweaks and profiling applications. I'm not so sure as a graduate level course book. Being M.S. grad. in comp. sci., the focus is more towards the theory and much more pedantic than what this book, which is much more PRACTICAL!!One distracting factor was there were a ton of typos in the book -- it was like it was never spell checked. Howard, really nail down the publisher on this one next time around. Other than that you should be about 70% there with this book. But I'll warn you, these tests are fairly difficult and nothing prepares as well as some real world application development. Use the book as intended...a study guide! Best of luck!
