Nice introduction to frameworks

I guess framework is now a buzzword in the IT market. If you want to know more about it, read this book.Java Application Frameworks is a necessity for managers as well as developers diving deep into the development of applications. It introduces to the reader basic application concepts as well as introduces some well known java frameworks like collection framework, infobus etc. For framework developers, it introduces them to the details of constructing and designing one. If you are diving into building a framework, read this book first. This is definitely a book that is worth the money.For readers who wants to know more about application framework, read the book "Building Application Frameworks" by Mohamed E Fayad, Douglas C. Schmidt, Ralph E. Johnson.

Not for those needing hand holding

If you want a book that gives you all the source code you need to reuse its concepts without understanding them, this book is not for you.However, if you know what is going on and understand the big picture, this book is a keeper.This book introduces a line of thinking that enables you to be a "next level" developer.If you are a guy that is simply an implementer and want juicy examples to steal, then this book isn't for you.By the way, the impact of Kevin Trent Smith on this book cannot be missed or ignored!

Java Beans chapter is outstanding. Very easy to read

This book is great! The chapter on Java Beans explains it so well. The rest of the book is OK, but I highly recommend the Java Beans chapter.
