Product Review
Enterprise Java has a potentially misleading title: While the book does a good job of explaining the basics of the Java programming language, it does little to illuminate the packages of the Enterprise Java family. Opening with a square-one explanation of how to install the Java Developer's Kit (JDK), most of this book is taken up by elementary Java tutorials, data types, conversions, operators, and the like. The guide provides a general discussion of object-oriented programming and includes a brief chapter on integrated development environments for Java. The authors do get somewhat deeper into the language and cover some of the java.net.* classes.
The biggest piece of true Enterprise Java here is the chapter on Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), which includes an application programming interface (API) reference and some code samples. (There's no companion disk.) CORBA gets a little bit of attention, too. The concluding chapters on the network computer reflect a broad view of Java in an organizational setting, but don't provide much information about the Java language.
Book Description
"Think client/server computing and the Internet have changed your life? Java's going to be twice as important - it will totally change the way you write applications and distribute them to clients," says Datamation. Java computing on the enterprise is coming. Web-based business applications, on Intranets and the Internet, are the leading new trend in enterprise-wide application development, and Java is a big reason why. Companies now have the tools they need to produce powerful applications that are tied in to a Web-based corporate Intranet or Extranet. This book is a guide to the effective use of Java technology for client/server business application development.
Reader ReviewsI trusted the description on the back cover telling that I would know when to apply (or not) certain techniques on real-life, enterprise cases, but when I purchased it, and unwrap the plastic cover, I found a lot ot chapters with basics, as installing the JDK, and basics on Java. Gives sneaks into all main issues (JDBC, Threads, etc), but it's not worth the money I paid for it. Not for "IS professionals" but a piece for fast-learners, although newbies.
