Ertman for reviewing and providing valuable comments.
This book was not possible without their extensive feedback!
This book was mostly written by compiling my blogs,
material from 2-day
workshops,
and several
hands-on
workshops
around
the
world.
The interactions with users of different technologies and
whiteboard discussions with different specification leads
helped me understand the technology better. Many thanks to
them for helping me be a better user!
The long international flights during my travel
around
the
world
proved extremely useful for authoring the content. No phone,
no email, no IM, food served on the table, power outlet = a
perfect recipe for authoring ;-)
Markus wrote a detailed
review of the book. He was one of the manuscript reviewers of
the book as well and provided valuable guidance. Some excerpts from
his blog:
It covers the basics you need to know of Java EE 6 and gives good
examples of all relevant parts.
...
This is a pocket guide which is comprehensively written. I
could follow all examples and it was a good read overall. No
complicated constructs and clear writing.
...
GO GET IT! It is the only book you probably will need about
Java EE 6! It is comprehensive, wonderfully written and covers
everything you need in your daily work. It is not a complete
reference but provides a great shortcut to the things you need to
know. To me it is a good beginners guide and also works as a
companion for advanced users.
