I am very excited that I've just received my copy :) You guys Don, Scott
and Chad did an excellent job. I specially like very much the coverage
of core topics of the framework e.g. the explanation on writing custom
validators for which there is not so much online documentation. I
yesterday ended up looking in a WW article for a concise explanation on
this topic but it was outdated for S2 ... today I have the book :)
What I like the most though is that this is the first Struts 2 book that
manages to be truly S2 version unspecific. I was afraid to receive just
another S2 book that would automatically become outdated but for Struts
2 in Action it is absolutely not the case. On the other hand, and as a
trade-off you find no info about some plugins shipped with Struts 2 e.g.
dojo but then maybe it was a bit out of scope. I think overall the scope
of this book is excellent and will be relevant for all 2.x versions to
come :)
If I were asked I would like to see/find in the market books strictly
dedicated to:
- Explaining all S2 key plugins e.g. dojo, REST, Code behind etc.
- Maybe another book dedicated solely to explaining how best
using/integrating AJAX toolkits with S2: YUI, DWR, dojo
Excellent job!
Best regards,
Giovanni
