Summary: What an informative read!
Review: Great concept, well written, good topic. This book takes a different
approach than other technology books. To start, 5 applications are
developed - all apps are useful and relevant. You are taken through the
whole development process, from problem to conception to development and
wrap-up. This allows you to really understand the process involved with each
application - why it was built the way it was and even where else you could
take it and how. All the good and relevant J2EE concepts are introduced to
the ColdFusion developer, not only how to use them, but why.The code alone is worth way more than the cost of the book. I highly
recommend it for anyone who already has a basic understanding of ColdFusion
(beginners should start somewhere else first).

Summary: Lots of fluff
Review: This book has a couple of really good nuggets of information. However, like the other Reality series books, it's over crowded with talk about methodology, fake meetings, requirements gathering, and other stuff. That's fine for one book, but all three books have the same generic information over and over. If the book concentrated specifically on working with Java in ColdFusion, it would have been much better. The book is worthwhile for the small pieces of information it offers, but be realistic with your expectations.

Summary: very helpful
Review: This book provided us with some valuable hints and suggestions that have helped guide our company's e-business. The section of the book on the E-Commerce application gave us alot of great ideas but the most helpful was the section on the Customer Relationship Managment tool (section 4). We implemented something that was very close to what was described and it appears to be a very solid long term solution.
