Negative Positive
Title: Not even sure how to rate it...
Review: Well, I got this book and was trying to get through the first chapter. As someone already mentioned, the setup is left for you, TOTALLY! I wasn't even able to get the first example running since you need to know Maven and I had never touched it. It gives me some build errors that Im not familiar with. There is a website for the book in case you have questions. The thing is that the website is ....... one page with one paragraph text saying to email them the question. THAT'S IT!! So I emailed them few days ago and until now ..... no reply at all. If Im buing a book, I expect it to teach me things. Otherwise, since I have to go over the docs on apache for Maven, and then for Pluto, then possibly for Jetspeed, I may as well go over the specs for Portlets too. I don't I really care for reading this book any further.
Is the review positive or negative?
