The first third of Developing Intranet Applications with Java isn't strictly about Java. Rather, it's about intranets, with some information about Java development environments and code style. (The author has some novel ideas about pretty-printing.) This may be a selling point for those who have been called upon to set up an intranet and implement Java programs on it all at once; others may consider it filler material. The cool thing in Developing Intranet Applications with Java is that author Jerry Ablan has put together custom software for both the book and its accompanying CD-ROM. The Java Intranet Framework (JIF) is a set of classes you can use as a base for writing corporate intranet tools. In fact, Ablan goes into great detail about using the JIF to write a conference tool, a benefits-management tool, the electronic equivalent of a magnetic in/out board, a product maintenance tracker, and several other tools. It's interesting to see how the JIF facilitates these products and how you can expand upon them. If you want to see, in detail, how one programmer created a suite of intranet tools, this book is the one for you./p>
Reviews From AMAZON.COM
Practical examples of real applications in Java
This is one of the few Java books that goes beyond being documentation of the API's to actually showing how you would make some applications. His tools coincide with tools we have made for a real application. This is a Java 1.1 book, but the frameworks and utilities Jerry introduces are very useful.
Good Bits but does not Hang Together
Good Bits but does not Hang Together Ablan is obviously a good 'techie' but has problems in communicating his ideas. I do not blame him but the sloppy Editing - Sams should hire a new Editor. Not for those starting off with Java & Inet projects. Typos, the CD has wrong chapters & after a few days gave up in trying to get the JIF examples working. There is no documentation / instructions on how to get it up & running (not in the book/CD). What a waste, as looked quite interesting. No discussion on Servlets vers Applets et al, or the limitations of doing it his way. Advice to Jerry Ablan: get a new editor, cover Servelets & reissue the book Note to SAMS (you seem to be more interested in $$$$bucks~$$$ for profits, too much sloppy & poor editing,compare that with O'Reilly; if I see book released by you versus O'Reilly - GUESS which pedigree I'll buy !!)
