Could you please suggest any good books for Java EE

Question

Hi people,

I am comfortable with Java SE 6 and I wanted to go deeper into Java by learning Java EE 6. However, I am confused and I don't know which book(s) should I read to master Java EE 6 (I have never learned Java EE previously). Could you please suggest any appropriate book(s) to help me master Java EE completely?

Thank you for reading

Answer 1

Here are some recommendations. Java EE 6 is pretty new.

Answer 2

Hello,

I've read Beginning Java™ EE 6 Platform with GlassFish™ 3 and I liked it a lot. It's a good one to start with... But to master it you will need more than just one book :)

Answer 3

I also read the "Beginning Java™ EE 6 Platform with GlassFish™ 3"-book, but it's only a starting point. It doesn't cover CDI, Security, Ajax+Bean Validation and some other stuff.

You can also start by reading the Sun Java EE 6 tutorial (available for free here). I'd also suggest to read about Weld, which is the currently available CDI implementation (also part of JEE6). The Weld reference can be found here. Also, if you're going to use JSF 2.0, this book covers everything you need to know about it.

I think that there can be no "complete" JavaEE6-book because JEE6 consists of too many technologies, so the book would probably contain 2000+ pages ;)

Answer 4

You can use this book as a reference, after going through and learning the basic concepts from the books mentioned above.

Answer 5

Beginning Java EE 5 May also help you. Good Luck!
