Taught me a great deal

I learned a great deal from this book. I read it cover to cover. I'll save it for reference and configuration issues. The first part of the book reviewed JSF and EJB3 and established their relationship to Seam. Since I'm new to those technologies, that really helped me too. The book is easy to read and was very well written and edited. Congratulations to the author and to the editors.

Great Introduction to Seam as well as EJB3/JSF

This book does a great job of introducing the reader to the relevant pieces of EJB3 and JSF that Seam builds upon, and then goes through the various ways you can use Seam. The examples are thorough yet built up slowly; he doesn't skip any steps which is often the case with books on frameworks. I read the book cover to cover and was off and running with Seam, and still from time to time look back on it for details on a specific topic. It focuses on the core Seam benefits like the annotation framework and persistence contexts, but also covers more advanced topics like Security, AJAX and Rules integration. Highly recommended...
