I assure that about greater than 70% of this forum member is use your book (HFEJB) for SCBCD preparation. I was took a tour for this forum and I see multiple topic point to something identically. That thing is
chapter1 detail. I'm sure that the chapter is contain usefuls stuff and multiple tool s to make our brain fresh while read it.
But something about little sentence in your book on page 28 that said
"...The only thing we won't do is install and configure the server. We assume you already did that..." . I think this speech is make me (and many person) have a problem, so your assumption was not quite right.
When I took this book I have on idea about what
ejb is for.?, what is it.? I only know it is
java relate technology and this subject was write by you (Kathy & Bert) so I think it have to useful for my career and my dream about java programmer because you write. We believe in your knowledge and teaching technic.
I want to sent my two requests to you.
First: please posts the process for setup j2eeRI server in step by step style and don't assume that people who take this book is know about setting variable environment(in popular platform). I think your style is not assume the 'already know' for reader but is the 'does not know' style, so please take my request.
Second: I apologize if you already post this topic. And I beg you to insert this detail in your next edition of your HFEJB.
Thank you for your great book, it make multiple programmers around the world happy. I love the series that you both founding. I'm thai, and in thailand the foreign computer textbook is not quite popular because the price and language reason. But I think your book series is make me surprise I already own Head First OOAD and you know? I'm not ever see something like that. The book store that I frequency go to buy is stock your series about
20 for HEAD FIRST series on shelf ,not count on that stock in their warehouse. So I think the above sentence that I just say will also be the problem to future HFEJB reader. So I beg your apologize again for rudeness.
Sincerely
Tanakorn
