As a consultant for Wutka Consulting, Mark enjoys solving interesting technical problems and helping his coworkers explore new technologies. He has taught classes, written articles and books, and given lectures. His first book, Hacking Java, outsold Stephen King at the local technical bookstore. He's also known for having a warped sense of humor. Most recently, Mark wrote Special Edition Using Java Server Pages and Servlets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reference for the serious J2EE developer, November 14, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Special Edition Using Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE): With JSP, Servlets, EJB 2.0, JNDI, JMS, JDBC, CORBA, XML and RMI (Paperback)

If you are searching for a reference manual that covers the basics about all the technologies involved in J2EE this is the book to buy. Keep in mind that it is impossible to cover Enterprise Java Beans,JSP,Servlets in detail in just one book. So if you're after a special thing like only EJB feel free to buy other books that cover only Enterprise Java Beans but otherwise this book is really worth its bucks simply because it introduces you to J2EE and afterwards you are able to understand what all those things are about.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent coverage of topic with good level of detail, October 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Special Edition Using Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE): With JSP, Servlets, EJB 2.0, JNDI, JMS, JDBC, CORBA, XML and RMI (Paperback)

I bought this book looking for an introduction to some of the areas of J2EE that I'm not expert in, half expecting another huge book full of code listings and reprinted javadocs, but I've been pleasantly surprised. As of this writing, the book has the most up to date coverage of j2ee I've seen and manages to pack very good introductory material into all the subjects I've looked at. It also gives enough detail for you to be able to understand the topic enough to start writing code and sifting through the API javadocs. The writing style is generally clear with good examples, although I noticed a couple of sloppy sections, but that can be excused in a book this size.

I haven't bought a Que book before, but I'll look at them a little closer now.
