Book Description
Effective Enterprise Java provides Java programmers with a deeper understandingof the nuances and subtleties of J2EE development. This book is unique in thatshows experienced developers the TRUE side of deploying enterpriseapplications, whereas most books only show how to use limited features, or thefeatures that Sun wants to trumpet. Author Ted Neward spells out seventy-fivespecific items that the enterprise Java developer can use to take their skills tothe next level. While similar in approach to other "effective" books (mostnotably the C++ books written by Scott Meyers), the items presented in thisbook strive to help developers recognize efficiency not at a language level, butat a systemic and architectural level. The resulting text will help developersimprove their development efficiency, and build applications that are trulyeffective enough to benefit the enterprise.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: We all need a mentor, 16 Nov 2004 By  Thomas Paul (Plainview, NY USA) - See all my reviews       As anyone who has programmed using Servlets, JSPs, and EJBs knows, the complexities of integrating multiple layers of code can drive you to distraction. If you aren't careful, you can create an application that performs poorly under load, is difficult to maintain, and is impossible to port from one platform to another. The tricks that a programmer needs to avoid these problems often come painfully with experience. The author has taken his experience and given us a book that is well-written, easy to understand, and provides plenty of excellent advice that will help you produce superior applications. The best part is that the advice you get is practical advice from someone who has actually experienced the pain and suffering of J2EE development. This book deals in the reality of development and not pie-in-the-sky theory. The book contains seventy-five items of discussion broken up into seven main areas. The items cover a wide range of topics from the broad, "Keep it simple" to the specific, "Never cede control outside your component while holding locks." The items cover everything from architecture, "Define your performance and scalability goals," to coding, "Use HttpSession sparingly." Even if a particular item is not of interest to you, there will be plenty of other items that will be of interest. This book is not a tutorial or beginner's book. It is expected that the reader already has some experience with Enterprise Java. If that describes you, make sure you get this book to avoid more pain and suffering. You will end up a better J2EE developer and your applications will be cleaner and easier to maintain.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
