Thanks very much, Skip, for the information. Sounds like a great book.
I haven't done Java since Struts 1.x, so I'll need to shake off some
language rust (not the language Rust but just plain old ordinary
language rust).

There have been significant changes since this book was written. However,
it covers topics where very little would need to be added to make it
current. It does not cover the code in the applications tree where a great
deal has changed. It focuses on the framework which is what you really want
when you are making new applications for hot-deploy. I think with this
book, you are well prepared to write new applications assuming previous Java
experience.

Subject: Re: Ofbiz Cookbook
Thank you for the recommendation. I read Ms. Hoffman's "OFBiz Ecommerce
Out-Of-The-Box" as a primer of sorts, and based on that positive
experience will consider saving my pennies so I can purchase her OFBiz
cookbook.
Is there any reason to anticipate a need for an updated edition? Have
there been many significant changes to OFBiz (or its complementary
considerations like data modeling strategies) since 2010?

I just got finished reading Apache OFBiz Cookbook (Open Source: Community
Experience Distilled) by Ruth Hoffman.
I have been writing Ofbiz code since before it was an Apache project.
This
book would have saved me six months of digging through Ofbiz code and
inspite of my nearly a decade of experience, I still learned several new
things in it.
I highly recommend this book to everyone, beginner and expert alike and
strongly recommend this book for anyone just getting started. It is well
written and worth every penny. When you get the Data Resource book, get
this one too and read it first.
Amazon has it here

I have never met or spoken to Ruth even though she posts on this forum
from
time to time.
Thanks Ruth.
