Java Ee 6 Development With Netbeans 7

I know people who want to learn how to make business applications using Java EE 6, on web platform, JMS, WebService, database, etc.. These people know the Java language but do not know where to start. In libraries and bookstores have not seen a whole book about Java EE 6 technologies using an IDE like this. It is a practical book to read, aimed at programmers and developers who know the Java language. Involves several important elements of each technology Java EE 6. The free tutorials and manuals found in the network does not cover or expose the full power of Java EE 6. The author of this book does, in an orderly, concise, direct. Utility would have been better if they are exposed to develop a specific topic, and watch as the NetBeans solves the problem using Java EE 6. He could have shown the development of an eCommerce solution based from Servlets / JSP and how it can improve to be RESTful. Although, on reflection, and escape the scope of this book, as its main objective is to show what you can do with NetBeans. The NetBeans is the star of this book, allowing complex tasks using a few clicks: Testing web services, JSF page creation, building managers, JPA, etc. Most striking are the chapters on EJB and CDI, and explaining how to make EJB client, and how to use AOP in Java EE 6. Something that would not let me in good taste, is that there are parts (very few) that are taken from an earlier version of NetBeans. Perhaps the author, in the rush, could not differentiate images and code of your previous publication ( Java EE 5 Development with NetBeans 6 ). This may confuse the reader because it could expect the same result in your IDE as it appears in the book. But this does not affect the exposure of Java EE 6 technologies. But they are very small parts and not very relevant. I think I'm too demanding at this point. I recommend this book for Java developers who want to enter the world of Java EE 6. It is the Bible of Java EE 6, as this technology is extensive and there would be no deep book that covers all aspects of Java EE 6, but gives a clear and complete vision of what can be done with it, and what else , using a large IDE as NetBeans.

In any technical work, the author's primary problem is to target an audience, and to maintain that focus throughout. This is every bit as important as accuracy. With the title of this book, you expect that the operational pieces in the Java EE 6 spec will be explained within the context of the Netbeans IDE. That's all well and good, but how much prior knowledge of both these Java standards should be assumed? Here one must avoid too many screenshots, with a singular focus on step-by-step procedure. At the same time, it must be assumed that a really seasoned developer is probably already familiar with Netbeans and would just want an in-depth focus on the somewhat newer Java EE 6 spec. In view of this, some coverage of the UI of the IDE, with due attention given to the whys and wherefores of the Java EE 6 components, is in order. It's reasonable to expect a substantial audience for a practical guide that explains how this IDE can help a developer who wishes to stick with the facilities provided in the EE 6 spec. Additionally, one can expect the reader has a technical bent but could use help integrating the technologies in the Java spec. In other words, a reader in the moderate knowledge range. So now I have to say that I'm a member of the above target audience, and I really liked this book. I won't re-list the table of contents here, but I have to mention some highlights here. It's my opinion that JSF has evolved to the point where it is a serious contender; especially since PrimeFaces hit the scene. So I was really happy with chapters 4 and 5. It's wonderful to see such a concise Facelet template explanation. PrimeFaces is there because it is included with Netbeans 7. Although one sees a lot of Hibernate, it's cool to have JPA included- and the author sails right on into session beans. There is a great discussion of Web Services development to wrap up. The book has a good selection of topics; and is approachable- but it isn't a lightweight in that it really explores, to some depth, what the current iteration of Java EE can do. After reading it, you definitely gain a new respect for Netbeans, too. Don't expect coverage of things outside of Java EE 6 (except for PrimeFaces)- there is only so much room in one book. Given the title, this isn't a surprise or really a problem. Just be advised. This book promises to be practical in approach; to integrate Java EE and Netbeans; to be concise and comprehensive; and for a wide range of developers. I think it pulls it off. I have to recommend this one.
