.Mastering Apache Velocity (Java Open Source Library)

by: Joseph D. Gradecki, Jim Cole

August 01, 2003
Over all the book is good and conver velocity in details, but it could easly fit in max 150 pages, without loosing single information.
The code samples are extnded in usless way, for each line of code there is *try* statment with *catch* for each possible exception, as if it was Java tutorial for beginers!! this could be done in first example but not in each one to fill all these pages.

.Mastering Jxta: Building Java Peer-To-Peer Applications

by: Joe Gradecki, Joseph D. Gradecki

2002-11
This is a reasonable book on JXTA. Part 1 gives a fairly good introduction to P2P technology, but Part 2 is a very repetitive description of the JXTA protocols (the specifications of which can be found at jxta.org and provide more background info). Part3 covers JXTA implementation - which this book takes to mean the implementation of JXTA applications - so if, like me you were expecting some in depth descriptions of how JXTA works, you're in for a disappointment! Part 4 is a set of appendicies that serve as a JXTA reference (installation & building, Java binding API, other language bindings, etc.)

All in all, this book is fine for someone starting to use JXTA for P2P development or someone who wants to know what all the fuss is about. ... Read More:
