Title: He Writes with an air of Experience
Review: It seems that the Java community has been so fast in developing new tools to assist in system development that it's hard to keep track. In fact, it almost seems that you could spend virtually all your working time on just reading the big thick manuals that each new development seems to require. And then when you want some guidence on which took you should use on any particular project you are faced with an almost religious ferver as to this one vs. that one.This book is a practical guide to using the new lightweight frameworks with POJO's (Plain Old Java Objects). It gives you an overview of Hibernate, JDO and Spring. More important, is that it defines the features of each with relation to the others. That in, for this kind of thing use this one, and for that kind of thing, use that one.It's clear that Mr. Richardson has used these programs to develop real applications and he shares his knowledge well.
