This book concentrates on Java EE 6 and highlights the new features of this release.

Java EE 6 Book

In today’s business world, applications need to access data, apply business logic, add presentation layers, and communicate with external systems.

Java Enterprise Edition appeared at the end of the 1990s and brought to the Java language a robust software platform for enterprise development. Challenged at each new version, badly understood or misused, overengineered, and competing with open source frameworks, J2EE was seen as a heavyweight technology.

Les critiques du livre Java EE 5

DZone avril 2008

Une fois n’est pas coutume, une revue de presse d’un site anglo-saxon. Un grand emerci à David Sills de l’équipe de JavaLobby qui, connaissant un peu le français, a fait l’effort de livre un ouvrage qui n’est pas écrit dans sa langue de prédilection. De plus, la critique est très bonne.

Un extrait : To be honest, I’d like to have this book in English for newbies in the field! We’d have a lot better applications built, I can say that.
