Dear Mr. Arun Gupta,
I saw your book Java EE 6(?) was most of the change of the version. Can you recommend a Java EE 7 book (for SE users but in EE beginner in pratice).
Have nice holyday
I’m sorry to break/steal your time,
Gabor Gossmann
PS:(Herbert Shildt: Java SE for Beginners was a great basic book something on it in Java EE 7)
Gabor,
Have you looked at http://www.amazon.com/Java-EE-Essentials-Arun-Gupta/dp/1449370179 ?
Dear Mr. Arun Gupta,
after I looked the Contents:
it’s great.
But I have the “medusa” book and it was most of the changes for the new version.
I don’t want to make from me, or from you a clow.
But the big question is: Is it a great book? It great (you are in this, the best)!
The question is:
Is it about the old commands too (or only from the new)?
