Review

This book covers many topics with DWR for a client and server side with concrete theory and a good amount the code. Furthermore Geronimo including DataBase and ActiveMQ are covered. Web Services with Eclipse are explained too at a higher level.

 

I consider this book mostly oriented for Web Developers with the desire to integrate DWR in your application or learn it from the scratch. Web Development is critical and most used in these days, and with Ajax out there, learning many Ajax frameworks is mandatory for us. DWR is perhaps the framework most used based in Java in many Web Applications, you can even integrate with Spring.

The book covers  the client side well with a lot of pages about javascript code working with DWR, and the  server side is covered too

Beginners could use this book with some complementation in the Web. This book has a good structured approach to learn for any reader.For medium developers you would find this book as a very good how-to guide/reference, because has concrete theory and action in samples

For its 228 pages I consider this book a good material for learning DWR in action
