Go Server Clients Books

There are too many mistakes in the sample code.
Instructions are not always clear.
For example, in the JMS section the book instructs the reader to fill in parameters as required, but it doesn't provide a good enough explaination as to what parameters the user should use. If I'm learning the material I might know the ins and outs of each parameter.

I agree that there is not enough treatment of parts of the WebLogic platform outside of the Server.

Otherwise it's not a bad book.

After browsing a few WebLogic 7.0 books at the local Borders, I decided to purchase this book from Amazon, as it was much cheaper online than real-time :)

Initial glance, its a very large book indeed. But do not be intimidated by its size. This is by far the best book I have ever read on J2EE and WebLogic. The book is very well written and explains everything that you wanted to know about the WebLogic Server, but was not explained in other books. It starts of by explaining what you need to know before you kick-off a WebLogic project and then explains the WebLogic Server Admin and Development in real world usage terms. The chapters on Web Services/Workshop are superb, and very advanced. Portal and WLI are also discussed, but in enough detail so you can get started using them that's all.

I recommend, grab a cup of Java and read/use this book to understand the WebLogic Server 7.0 product. You will not be disappointed.

As someone who has not been exposed to Weblogic/J2EE application servers before, I found this book an excellent and thorough introduction. The attention to not only the technology but also the methodology indicates the author's almost obsessive drive for completeness.
The writing is clear and very accessible.

A must-own book for anybody wanting to know about Weblogic.

I thought the book was well written and very informative. The book is organized in a fashion which presents useful examples to re-enforce ideas described within the text. I want to congratulate the authors in putting together a book containing the subject matter I truly enjoy. It will contribute to my own personal growth and make me a more valuable resource on the job as a software developer.

As a novice on BEA Weblogic Platform 7.0, I found this book to be a very comprehensive and clear treatment of the material. I experienced a quantum leap in my hands-on knowledge after reading the book and working through the examples.

The sections on Web Services and Web Logic Server were particularly helpful in clearing up some unanswered questions that have been tormenting me for some time.

Technical books that are both comprehensive and clear are a rarity. This book is one of them.
