Summary: Not as bad as some of the reviews depict.
Comment: 1. Yes, I would agree that the content is not much more than what is available online.

2. Yes, I would agree that the content is somewhat cursory.

Re 1. I can't stand following along with online tutorials. I like having a book that I can review in comfort.

Re 2. I was not lookng for a book on how to implement J2EE, I was looking for an introductory guide to JDeveloper and specifically getting started with ADF.

This book delivered.

Summary: Excelent choice to start with Jdeveloper 10g.
Comment: If you are a starter in JDeveloper 10g this is the book you need. Bur you have to have background in Java.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Little more than available for free
Comment: Sometimes you just get lucky. You write a book about a fairly obscure and expensive Java IDE and then, without any warning, the company that makes the IDE releases it to the general public for free. The book is mostly a summary of the features of JDeveloper and doesn't go in deep into any area. If you are interested in a book to get you started with JDeveloper then this might fill your need. If you are looking for a book to show you the power of JDeveloper and help you get deep into its capabilities then this isn't the book for you.

The book has some major shortcomings; first and foremost that it was written using the preview version of 10g. Because of this there are some screen differences and the flow isn't always exactly as described. It would have been better if the author had waited until the final release version. Also, because JDeveloper was formerly a purchased product, there is quite a bit of information available free from the Oracle web site. You can find tutorials, demos, product tours, etc on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN). Finally, the book doesn't cover writing your own custom extensions and instead points the reader to OTN.

So what does the book offer? It is a fairly basic overview of the features available in JDeveloper. The author looks at servlet/jsp development, UML, web services, EJB, database interaction, Swing, and a few other features including the Application Development Framework (ADF). It covers everything at a fairly high level so at the end of the book you might not know how to do a lot in JDeveloper but you will know what JDeveloper is capable of doing. There really isn't a better JDeveloper book on the market however. A book about JDeveloper with the detail available in the many Eclipse books is still waiting to be published.

Customer Rating:

Summary: a good book for j2ee starters
Comment: I found the book useful as it provided good J2EE grounding to get me on my way with what is a very complex subject. The changed version from the version used is a minus for the book. However using the source code available on the book's official page made using the book simple and useful.
If you a beginner / intermediate level j2ee and jdeveloper user, I think this book will be very useful. If you are already a J2EE expert, then this might be a little on the simpler side.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Very disappointing; save your $$
Comment: This book is another example of sloppy workmanship being rushed into print without competent editing or proofing. The presentation is uneven and disorganized and over half of the examples do not work correctly. The author apparently used an early beta version of 10g - so the screen shots and directions do not correspond to the actual product; with patience one can follow the examples. However publishing a technical book that is so replete with errors that some of the examples will not even compile is in my opinion just inexcusable. Apress should be ashamed to have published this.

Editorial Reviews:

The age for using a simple text editor is long gone. The ever-growing complexity of Java and J2EE creates a need for Java development tools that offer more. If you want to be more productive with Java, you need a Java IDE. Oracle JDeveloper 10g is an IDE that enables you to develop Java applications with minimal effort. JDeveloper can do wonders for your Swing, JSP, Servlets, Struts, EJBs, and Web Services developments.

In this indispensable guide, renowned author Harshad Oak puts the technology first, enhancing the text with sample applications that demonstrate how JDeveloper can simplify your developments using the technology. Oak also focuses on the new Application Development Framework (ADF) that comes with JDeveloper 10ga framework that will get your applications up and running fast.

The book also delves into Jdevelopers many code optimization tools, demonstrating how to use them to find improper or resource-hungry code thats requires your immediate attention. Oak continues on to discuss JDeveloper extensions that add even more value to JDeveloper.
