Title: Not much more than a good history book
Review: Given the date this book was written, I understand the many positive reviews.Offcourse we now are almost 2012 and 10 years of evolution in IT makes a vast difference which makes this book dated.With today's ORM tools like JPA, (N)Hibernate, Torque, .. more than 50% of the book is irrelevant.It might come in handy when we would like to create our own 'sort of' implementation of such tools, but why should we...The best way to look at this book is as if you were buying a Windows Millennium book for your windows seven OS.Some things might seem helpful and maybe even are, but there is no good reason to spend 50$ or 40 on this.
