Rating: If you are new to Java(Script) and that kind of programming this book won't help. It is limited to descriptions like "do a click here and one there and you're done": the backgrounds became not clearer to me. Instead of explaining pull down lists which change with every release the book would have benefitted from diagrams which show the relationship between the java parts. Some parts were superfluous: handing over a clear error message with description to the user doesn't need to be mentioned at all, it's quite normal and doesn't need to be stressed more than once. Although I knew that IBM was involved writing this book I was astonished about the frequency their products were mentioned. If it is essential for my programming success to use Version x.y.z.a.b.c because x.y.z.a.b.d won't work then I will continue searching for other solutions. I found two or three minor typos i some illustrations. If you are new to the theme it is difficult to distinguish between the illustration and the text: which is the right one?
