Book review : JBoss AS 5 Development

This book is a good reference if you are working with JBoss. The book can be accessed here. The book is written in simple style and easy to read. It touches the things to an average depth and can be a good companion, if anyone are using JBoss as their deployment environment. It has lots of tips and trick between those black lines. The book is practical in nature and written in a tutorial style.

The book at times tends to get too deep into other technicalities related to JavaEE standard technology which tends to remove the focus, if you are already comfortable with JavaEE stuff and looking for Jboss specific stuff. Another thing missing is a more detail treatment of the new microcontainer architecture.

Overall a good companion for JBoss based environments.
