2.0 out of 5 stars Full of Mistakes, not good enough, August 19, 2005
By 
This review is from: Mastering Apache Velocity (Java Open Source Library) (Paperback)
This book does a very good job of explaining Velocity, but the code examples in this book are full of mistakes. I felt as though the book made things seem easier than they actually are, and I would have appreciated a more in-depth technical exploration of Velocity. The title is misleading, because there is not enough information in this book for you to "master" Velocity.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fairly Helpful, January 22, 2008
This review is from: Mastering Apache Velocity (Java Open Source Library) (Paperback)
The book does a pretty good job of getting you up and running on Velocity. My biggest complaint is that the book is too old. Velocity has changed. Many methods have been deprecated in the toolkit and finding good documentation is difficult.

This book will get you started. It explains the Velocity language clearly. For anyone who has done programming in a variety of languages this should seem straight forward. I would recommend this book to any one starting out with Velocity and some prior experience in client server web development.
