This book's description on Amazon claims that "This book is for developers who want to become proficient with Java EE 8 for their enterprise application development. Basic knowledge of Java is assumed." I'm a fairly proficient developer in Java on the client and desktop side of things, so I bought this hoping it would help me develop my so-far-meager understanding of "enterprise Java." My (more than) "basic knowledge of Java" proved nowhere near enough: every "recipe" in the "cookbook" assumed a thorough understanding of Java EE. Basic and fundamental concepts are never explained.
If all I wanted, or all the book advertised, was tips for making the most of an upgrade from previous versions of the Java EE platform to the new Java EE 8, this might be a reasonably competent answer to that demand. But since it promises a guide from a mere "basic knowledge of Java" to proficiency in Java EE 8, either the author and publisher are making the entirely unwarranted (thoughinfuriatingly common) assumption that a "basic knowledge of Java" means "a working knowledge of the entire Java EE ecosystem," or they have simply overpromised and utterly failed to deliver. In either case, f0r me, this was a waste of both time and money.
