Comment Re:Hey! buy the Jakarta Commons Cookbook (Score 2, Informative) 89
I would recommend everyone to O'Brien's Commons Cookbook. It is concise and to the point, (as a good cookbook title should be), with lots of good summaries and examples.
He gives just enough attention to a topic to give the intelligent reader the gist, as well as a jumping-off point for further investigation into the specific commons sub-project.
I was familiar with and actively used several commons components before, but this book introduced me to many I was not even aware of (or was aware of but didn't completely understand what it would be useful for). Also gave me ideas for how to easily integrate new commons packages into new projects under design for a tighter and more efficient architecture.
Go get it now...
