Little more than available for free,

This review is from: Oracle JDevelopment 10g: Empowering J2EE Development (Paperback)
Sometimes you just get lucky. You write a book about a fairly obscure and expensive Java IDE and then, without any warning, the company that makes the IDE releases it to the general public for free. The book is mostly a summary of the features of JDeveloper and doesn't go in deep into any area. If you are interested in a book to get you started with JDeveloper then this might fill your need. If you are looking for a book to show you the power of JDeveloper and help you get deep into its capabilities then this isn't the book for you.
The book has some major shortcomings; first and foremost that it was written using the preview version of 10g. Because of this there are some screen differences and the flow isn't always exactly as described. It would have been better if the author had waited until the final release version. Also, because JDeveloper was formerly a purchased product, there is quite a bit of information available free from the Oracle web site. You can find tutorials, demos, product tours, etc on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN). Finally, the book doesn't cover writing your own custom extensions and instead points the reader to OTN. So what does the book offer? It is a fairly basic overview of the features available in JDeveloper. The author looks at servlet/jsp development, UML, web services, EJB, database interaction, Swing, and a few other features including the Application Development Framework (ADF). It covers everything at a fairly high level so at the end of the book you might not know how to do a lot in JDeveloper but you will know what JDeveloper is capable of doing. There really isn't a better JDeveloper book on the market however. A book about JDeveloper with the detail available in the many Eclipse books is still waiting to be published.

Very disappointing; save your $$,
By Java apps developer (Walnut Creek, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oracle JDevelopment 10g: Empowering J2EE Development (Paperback)
This book is another example of sloppy workmanship being rushed into print without competent editing or proofing. The presentation is uneven and disorganized and over half of the examples do not work correctly. The author apparently used an early beta version of 10g - so the screen shots and directions do not correspond to the actual product; with patience one can follow the examples. However publishing a technical book that is so replete with errors that some of the examples will not even compile is in my opinion just inexcusable. Apress should be ashamed to have published this.

A real disappointment,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Oracle JDevelopment 10g: Empowering J2EE Development (Paperback)
I am hesitant to write a really bad review, but some books deserve it.
The point of a book like this is to teach you how to use a tool. The problem is that this book doesn't do it. The authors do not fully explain the examples. For example, on page 45 they display a dialog box, but never tell you how to get to it. The examples don't work; on another page we are told that if you double click on a combo box that certain code will be generated. JDev doesn't generate the code. The book is also based on a beta release of JDev!!! I am not sure why anyone would base a book on beta software. After struggling with the book for hours I gave up. This was really a disappointment for me.
