I am currently testing out a new version of the APF Bridge Component - If you notice any errors within this demo store please drop me a line.

Had high hopes for the book, with cartoons and all. But they got into lots of agonizingly boring technical detail without putting it into a clear context. The explanations could have been much clearer by providing that context.

This was a great book for me, ( had to use wrath of EJB 2.1 in several projects =( ). So when EJB 3 came out and i went through EJB 3 ( via Oreilly's book ) i was amazed, pleased and overjoyed.
The new Exam covers EJB3. However if you are still planning to give EJB 2.X exam, this is BEST book you'll buy. It guides you step by step towards steep learning curve that EJB comes with and makes it real easy to remember things.
I am usually critical of Head First "Kids" like format, but this book justifies that because of the subject being such. EJB 2.x deserved this kind of book, where one go one step at a time to understand things.
Book Covers :
1. ) Transaction Management
2. ) All kinds of Beans ( what you do, what container does etc etc. )
What it does not Cover :
1.) EJB 3
2.) Deployment to JBOSS container ( these days with EJB 3 more and more people are adopting JBOSS AS ), neither does it cover deployment specifics of Websphere. ( And in reality Why should it ever do that? this book is only for certification etc. )
If you want to earn SCBCD ( old one ) or if you are working for EJB 2.X project, do yourself the favor of buying this book

This book is out-of date. It does not cover EJB 3 which is the current paradigm. For EJB 1 & 2 it is a good book, but these are not used. If you are preparing for SCBCD this is not the book to use

This is a absolutely easy going book. You can read it for hours and not feel any stress. The methods they have used are so good that you will never forget the concepts.
