Head First EJB

Who is this book for?

If you can answer “yes” to all of these:

1. Do you know Java? (You don’t need to be a guru.)

2. Do you want to learn, understand, and remember EJB, with a goal of passing the SCBCD exam and developing business components?

3. Do you prefer stimulating dinner party conversation to dry, dull, technical lectures?

this book is for you.

Who should probably back away from this book?

If you can answer “yes” to any one of these:

1. Are you completely new to Java?

   (You don’t need to be advanced, but you should have some experience. If not, go get a copy of Head First Java, right now, today, and then come back and get this book.)

   

2. Are you a kick-butt Java developer looking for an EJB reference book?

3. Are you a J2EE veteran looking for ultra-advanced server techniques, server-specific how-to’s, enterprise design patterns, and long, complex, robust real-world code?

4. Are you afraid to try something different? Would you rather have a root canal than mix stripes with plaid? Do you believe that a technical book can’t be serious if beans are anthropomorphized?

   

this book is not for you.

[note from marketing: who took out the part about how this book is for anyone who can afford it? Why limit our target audience this way?]
