Educate your manager...

My manager asked me to explain Java and JavaBeans. This book did the trick. It's well laid-out, with lots of colour pictures, and deals with non-trivial issues in an understandable manner. It also comes with a Java tutorial, along with a try-and-(maybe)-buy version of a tool from Sun. I use this book a lot, along with "Borland's JBuilder: No Experience Required" by Zukowski, and "JBuilder Essentials" by Cary Jensen, et al. IMHO, if you're using JBuilder, you can buy these three books and pitch everything else.

Very good!

I really enjoyed this book. I found the material clearly written and concise, the projects helpful, and was thankful for the beautifully illustrated examples and colorized source code. Unfortunately, due to the absolute "newness" of the Beans technology and the awkward transition point we are all suffering through as we slowly migrate to version 1.1.x of Java from 1.0.x, there are inherent frustrations with regard to browser support (or lack, thereof) and, more importantly, many of the discussed products' near-but-not-quite-there support of JavaBeans. I think the book handles these issues rather well, though. If you are seeking expert coverage into this new and amazing area of the Java Language I can't see a better place to start.
