The Barnes & Noble ReviewSun may have created Java. Microsoft may have, shall we say, customized
You'll find detailed coverage of IBM's WebSphere Advanced and Enterprise application servers. You might expect that: WebSphere is an extremely high-profile product. But Daniel J. Worden also covers the powerful, under-publicized VisualAge for Java development environment; the NetObjects Fusion and Net.Commerce web development tools, and the breakthrough SanFrancisco Java Framework.
For enterprise developers, the latter may be most exciting of all: a complete, object-oriented, reusable, Java-based framework for creating platform-independent business applications. SanFrancisco includes (and this book covers) a broad range of pretested components, designs, processes, architectures, and relationships.
BIG BLUE JAVA also includes coverage of IBM Java support in DB2; a brief overview of IBM's current hardware platforms and their Java support; and a CD-ROM containing sample code from the book. If you're involved with Java, this book may just help you discover some enterprise-class options you hadn't fully considered: IBM's.
