This review is from: Jbuilder Essentials (Paperback)

I went looking for a book that would help me learn to use JBuilder. I found that in JBuilder Essentials.

It walks you through a number of examples in clear, consise language. After creating just a couple of applications, it was easy to move onto the next chapter while remembering what I had learned in previouse chapters.

It comes with an older version of JBuilder (Trial version), and that's OK, the newer versions just build on what I learned from this book.

This review is from: Jbuilder Essentials (Paperback)

I found JBuilder Essentials to be an excellent book for developing database applications. As the title properly denotes, it is not a Java reference. It focuses more on guiding the reader in the development of applications using JBuilder rich toolset, specially in the utilization of user interface and database classes and controls. If you are looking for a fast and practical path to learn application development using JBuilder, this is the book you need.
