Concerning IDEs
Rated out of 5 stars, December 12nd, 2009
This is more of a footnote to the previous review, rather than a review as such. Helpful anyhow, I hope. The author mentions in his preamble that he has deliberately avoided assuming that the reader is using an IDE (and the variety of IDEs available could confuse matters anyhow). The reason he gives is that IDEs take care of a lot of the nitty gritty for us, which is nice, but in a book for learning the nitty gritty it is better to confront it in all its detail. That way we don't let the ever-so-helpful IDE de-skill us. It's only like pilots wanting to land the plane by skill rather than by wire. -
Great book for getting started with Java & SOA
Rated out of 5 stars, March 12nd, 2009
This book is great to get started with SOA and Java. It has plenty of examples, is clear, shows different solutions and is easy to read. A few things I would have liked to see: examples of how SOAP & REST work together and how to choose between the two (it is VERY briefly discussed). One small issue is that it looks like the writer tried to fill space by copying the same source code across several pages. I think snippets would be just as useful. Last item: the book heavily discusses how to use ant/ compilers to generate code. Alas, there is no discussion of how to use each technology with an IDE (eclipse or any other).
