About the Author

Scott Stark, Ph.D., was born in Washington State in 1964. He started out as a chemical engineer, graduated with a B.S. from the University of Washington, and later received a Ph.D. from the University of Delaware. While in Delaware it became apparent to him that computers and programming were to be his passion, and so he made the study of applying massively parallel computers to difficult chemical engineering problems the subject of his Ph.D. research. It has been all about distributed programming ever since. Scott currently serves as the Chief Technology Officer of the JBoss Group, LLC.

Marc Fleury, Ph.D., was born in Paris in 1968. Marc started in Sales at Sun Microsystems France. A graduate of the Ecole Polytechnique, France's top engineering school, and an ex-Lieutenant in the paratroopers, he has a master in Theoretical Physics from the ENS ULM and a Ph.D. in Physics for work he did as a visiting scientist at MIT (X-Ray Lasers). Marc currently serves as the President of the JBoss Group, LLC, an elite services company based out of Atlanta, GA.

JBoss Group LLC is a service company dedicated to support, training, and consulting around the free JBoss platform. Based in Atlanta, GA, this LLC regroups core JBoss programmers around the world.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT about How to Develop or Admin JBoss, July 18, 2002
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: JBoss Administration and Development (Kaleidoscope) (Paperback)
Mostly useless to a J2EE developer or someone that needs to Admin a JBoss installation. The title must have been the brain-child of some marketing clown at Sam's. In addition the content is presented in a random and incomplete manner.

This book covers version 2.4. The latest version of JBoss is 3.0 which only has about 20% in common with 2.4. Do NOT buy this book if you are running 3.0!

1.0 out of 5 stars Shockingly poor title., May 3, 2004
By 
This review is from: JBoss Administration and Development (Kaleidoscope) (Paperback)
The subtitle of this book "Administration and Development" is comletely inaccurate. The foreward begins: "This book is for the JBoss content developer and administrator".

No it isn't. It should be called "JBoss Internals", which is what it actually covers. Whoever chose the title was an idiot. How anyone could imagine that a book on JBoss that doesn't cover EJB deployment is aimed at administrators is beyond me.

Less than useless (if I could give it zero stars I would), as the "authorized" book, it will actively discourage people from learning JBoss.

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Title!, July 9, 2002
This review is from: JBoss Administration and Development (Kaleidoscope) (Paperback)
This is NOT about administration or development using JBoss, it is about the architecture and development of JBoss itself.

That said, if you want to know WHY JBoss works the way it works this would be a decent book. If you want to know HOW to use it this will be worse than useless.
