Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development

The results of using J2EE in practice are often disappointing: applications are often slow,
unduly complex, and take too long to develop. Rod Johnson believes that the problem lies not in J2EE itself, but in that it is often used badly. Many J2EE publications advocate
approaches that, while fine in theory, often fail in reality, or deliver no real business value.
Expert One-on-One: J2EE Design and Development aims to demystify J2EE development. Using a practical focus, it shows how to use J2EE technologies to reduce, rather than increase, complexity. Rod draws on his experience of designing successful high-volume J2EE
applications and salvaging failing projects, as well as intimate knowledge of the J2EE
specifications, to offer a real-world, how-to guide on how you too can make J2EE work in
practice.
It will help you to solve common problems with J2EE and avoid the expensive mistakes often made in J2EE projects. It will guide you through the complexity of the J2EE services and APIs to enable you to build the simplest possible solution, on time and on budget. Rod takes a practical, pragmatic approach, questioning J2EE orthodoxy where it has failed to deliver results in practice and instead suggesting effective, proven approaches.
