Java EE 6 Book

5 Comments

In today’s business world, applications need to access data, apply business logic, add presentation layers, and communicate with external systems. That’s what companies are trying to achieve while minimizing costs, using standard and robust technologies that can handle heavy loads. If that’s your case, you have the right book in your hands.

Java Enterprise Edition appeared at the end of the 1990s and brought to the Java language a robust software platform for enterprise development.

French libraries are full of English books. French blogs are full of comments on English books. Technical French website are full of reviews of English books.

I was ready to help him in any difficulty with the language, but it appeared that David is quite knowledgeable with French. He managed to read it all and wrote a review on DZone. Thanks David for the effort and thanks for the interesting review that you wrote. I‘ll send the following extract to my publisher, who knows, a French book could be published into English once : To be honest, I’d like to have this book in English for newbies in the field!
