CodeNotes for J2EE: EJB, JDBC, JSP, and Servlets
CodeNotes provides the most succinct, accurate, and speedy way for a developer to ramp up on a new technology or language. Unlike other programming books, CodeNotes drills down to the core aspects of a technology, focusing on the key elements needed in order to understand it quickly and implement it immediately. It is a unique resource for developers, filling the gap between comprehensive manuals and pocket reference.
CodeNotes for J2EE: EJB, JDBC, JSP, and Servlets introduces Java developers to the key database and web development technologies of the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition. The JDBC API, JavaServer Pages, and Servlet frameworks are covered individually with examples that show how these technologies work together to create robust, dynamic web-based applications. The book also explains how to use Enterprise JavaBeans to create large, distributed, scalable applications.
This edition of CodeNotes includes:
-A global overview of a technology and explanation of what problems it can be used to solve
-Real-world examples
-”How and Why,” “Design Notes,” and “Bugs and Caveats” sections that provide hints, tricks, workarounds, and tips on what should be taken advantage of or avoided
-Instructions and classroom-style tutorials throughout from expert trainers and software developers
Visit www.codenotes.com for updates, source code templates, access to message boards, and discussion of specific problems with CodeNotes authors and other developers.
Every CodeNotes title is written and reviewed by a team of commercial software developers and technology experts. See “About the Authors” at the beginning of the book for more information.

A Great Way To Understand J2EE,
I’ve recently discovered the CodeNotes series, and have become a big fan. The admirable goal of these books are to give you a practical understanding of the subject in 200 pages or less. I’ve got 3 of these books, and find them all to be well-written, appropriately concise, yet filled with what’s necessary to get you up to speed on the subject matter.
This particular CodeNotes covers well the big topic of J2EE, the underlying API’s, JDBC, JSP, and does a great job with EJB’s. The treatment of these subjects is complete from a high level, but you’ll have a good foundation when you drill down in a given area.
I applaud these sorts of books making an inroad into the technical shelves. More often than not, I don’t need a 1000 page technical epic that is a chore to both carry around and actually read. Also, because many of these books contain a CD that may or may not have any useful material, suddenly you’ve got a 15 pound reference monster …!
This book is a real value for the price, it gives you the information you need. The extra material, such as expanded coverage of technical specifics and web links, is handled on the CodeNotes website, so no “CD Included” surcharge.
Nice coverage of the subject, from a happy reader not connected with CodeNotes at all. Just happy to promote the cause of succinct technical reference!

|Just Great! Suggest that publishers benchmark this series.,
I think I was very lucky to have found this book while I was struggling to grasp the idea of what J2EE is all about reading a very thick book from another publisher. I am quite sure 3 days spent on reading this book was worth much more than over 10 days spent on getting lost while reading another one. How amazing it is that such a small book covers almost all the important aspects of J2EE (even design issues!). I can’t wait for the new books in this series (such as C, C++, etc) to hit the market. Other publishers that are notorious for their verbose style in their books should learn some philosophy from this series and stop wasting the valuable time of the readers with enticing but practically unnecessary details.
