I have used this book in detail and tried a few code samples sucesfuly. I you are a hard core programmer And interested in combining J2EE and Ajax, this is the book for you. Even though its not a very thick soft cover book it is jam packed with information.

This review is from: DWR Java AJAX Applications (Paperback)

ecently read "DWR Java AJAX Applications" by Sami Salkous-a PACKT Publication. At first, I was put off by the books short length and cover price of $39.99 US. However, after reading the book-to-cover twice I was pleasantly surprised to find that book not only adequately covers the subject of DWR, but covers it well. This is an excellent book if you are just starting to dabble with DWR. The book is jam packed with excellent code samples. It also provides solid coverage of deployment. I will recommend this book to any novice. Where I find the book falls short, but am not certain that it was ever meant to cover, is on the topics of performance and scalability. The book also only provides deployment examples for Apache Geronimo. It would be nice to add a few more examples for Jetty and JBoss. The development setup in the book is also specific to Eclipse. One additional nice to have would be an example of how-to structure a DWR project with Maven. Despite these minor shortcomings the book is a good read and the author should be proud of this publication. Nice work Sami! Now, if I can just get PACKT to lower their price a tad.
