2.0 out of 5 stars Complete Reference? Sort of..., January 27, 2004

This review is from: J2EE: The complete Reference (Paperback)

Based on the title of this book, you would think it would have some real content. After reading the first part of this book, I was deeply disappointed. I think this book is great for project managers who want to learn the development side of the J2EE technology. But for developers/engineers, it is a complete waste of time. Although the author does touch on every subject associated with J2EE he fails to connect all the dots. Explaining Java servlets and JSP, as one example, was a good start but there is nothing about how they work with each other. There arent very many examples either, but the ones that do exist, get right to the point and explain the subject matter appropriately. Too bad that isnt enough to make it more than a 2 star book. Glad I didnt pay full price for it (bought a used copy for $6 - barely makes it worth it).

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid this book, January 2, 2003

Patrick J. Hagan (New York, New York USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: J2EE: The complete Reference (Paperback)

I have read hundreds of technical computer books and I own many of them, so I can judge very well if a book is worthwhile. "J2EE: The Complete Reference" by Jim Keogh is the "WORST" book I have ever read. There are errors in almost every illustration and example. I expect one or two typos, but this is beyond belief. It was a total waste of my time to read and money to buy. Avoid this book and do not waste your time and money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of money, May 31, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: J2EE: The complete Reference (Paperback)

After reading all the reviews about this book i decided to buy it from amazon. Next time i will read more about bad comments than good ones.

The most i hate about books is "quick reference guides".
I'd like to have back 30% of money back since 30% of this book is just cut&paste from javaDoc.

The book is too approximately on most the subjects, expecting reading 7 pages of introducion to a subject and than 4-7 pages of java API!!

IMOH,
this is not the "complete" reference.
