Title: As a EJB newbie, I found this book very helpful...
Review: As a recently unemployed Java developer, I was at a local Borders looking at EJB books to update my skill. I picked several EJB books and then sat down with a coffee to find a easy to understand and a practical book. In my opinion the EJBs are too complicated and I was looking for hands-on book with step-by-step guide and this book was it. I was able to understand and start writing stateless session bean within few hours. I liked the fact Mr. Tulachan used Sun's J2EE Reference Implmentation, which is free, small and easy to use unlike commercial application servers that take over 150MB of disk space and require atleast 256MB -a bit complicated and difficult to use for a beginner like me.The only negative from my perspective are the typos so be sure to download the errata.As a beginner I found the step-by-step approach to EJB development very helpful and I hope it will also help me get a job as an EJB developer soon....--raj
