Negative Positive
Title: Serves as an excellent reading as well as reference.
Review: This book could not have come at a better time then now. Since, Internet technology and distributed computing in general is being accepted in the IT industry. The book starts out covering concepts and issues fundamental to distributed computing and gradually takes the reader through the specific details of Enterprise Java Beans, JTS, CORBA OTS and many other very useful design patterns. Finally, the book concludes with an actual application using Enterprise JavaBeans covering Stateless, Statefull and Entity Beans. The authors did a remarkable job of leaving out the extraneous details while maintaining the completeness and continuity of material covered. I am a "Picture Person", I found the book to be rich in useful illustrations. I would highly recommend the readings and comprehension of the first two parts, followed by trying out the third and final part of building the application. It will bring the whole picture in sharp focus.
