What do Ford Financial, IBM, and Victoria's Secret have in common?
Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB). As the industry standard for
platform-independent reusable business components, EJB has just
become Sun Microsystem's latest developer certification. Whether
you want to be certifiable or just want to learn the technology
inside and out, "Head First EJB" will get you there in the least
painful way. And with the greatest understanding.
You'll learn not just what the technology *is*, but more
importantly, *why* it is, and what it is and isn't good for. You'll
learn tricks and tips for EJB development, along with tricks and
tips for passing this latest, very challenging Sun Certified
Business Component Developer (SCBCD) exam. You'll learn how to
think like a server. You'll learn how to think like a bean. And
because this is a Head First book, you'll learn how to think about
thinking.
Co-author Kathy Sierra was one of Sun's first employees to teach
brave, early adopter customers how to use EJB. She has the scars.
But besides dragging you deep into EJB technology, Kathy and Bert
will see you through your certification exam, if you decide to go
for it. And nobody knows the certification like they do - they're
co-developers of Sun's actual exam!
As the second book in the Head First series, "Head First EJB"
follows up the number one best-selling Java book in the US, "Head
First Java," Find out why reviewers are calling it a revolution in
learning tough technical topics, and why Sun Chairman and CEO Scott
McNealy says, "Java technology is everywhere...if you develop
software and haven't learned Java, it's definitely time to dive in
"Head First."
And with Head First book, you don't evenhave to feel guilty
about having fun while you're learning; it's all part of the
learning theory. If the latest research in cognitive science,
education, and neurobiology suggested that boring, dry, and
excruciatingly painful was the best way to learn, we'd have done
it. Thankfully, it's been shown that your brain has a sense of
style, a sense of humour, and a darn good sense of what it likes
and dislikes.
In "Head First EJB," you'll learn all about:
Component-based and role-based development
The architecture of EJB, distributed programming with RMI
Developing and Deploying an EJB application
The Client View of a Session and Entity bean
The Session Bean Lifecycle and Component Contract
The Entity bean Lifecycle and Component Contract
Container-managed Persistence (CMP)
Container-managed Relationships (CMR)
EJB-QL
Transactions
Security
EJB Exceptions
The Deployment Descriptor
The Enterprise Bean Environment in JNDI
Programming Restrictions and Portability
The book includes over 200 mock exam questions that match the
tone, style, difficulty, and topics on the real SCBCD exam. See why

exam-passers--
