Some people just want to pass the certification to please their picky bosses, but I believe you're not like that. Indeed, you want to pass the Sun Certified Business Component Developer (SCBCD) exam, but that's not all—you also need to actually apply EJB in practice. You want to build applications, handle deadlines, and if you forget everything you've learned about EJB the day after passing the exam, you'll definitely be miserable. We'll help you pass the exam with flying colors and assist you in using EJB in real-world scenarios. You'll gain a deep understanding of EJB architecture, session, entity, and message-driven bean lifecycles, CMP, EJBQL, transactions, security, patterns, and more, and you'll also learn what component-based development really means. The more you understand, the less you need to memorize, so don't expect to pass without learning anything—don't cram information into your brain by rote. If you've read HeadFirst Java, you'll know what kind of book HeadFirst EJB is—it will completely surprise you! If you haven't, prepare yourself. HeadFirst EJB applies the latest learning theory to deliver knowledge directly to your brain (no surgery required). You'll engage with this book in unconventional ways, allowing you to learn deeper and faster, and most importantly, you'll truly apply what you learn.
Building business components with EJB is one of the most popular uses of Java, but the SCBCD exam is a real headache. We know this well, because we were involved in writing the exam. Since the exam is indeed difficult, we believe we can at least guide you through it, and you'll only need to buy 3 extra large pizzas to afford this book. Kathy Sierra (founder of JavaRanch.com) and Bert Bates are members of multiple Java certification exam development teams at Sun, including the SCBCD exam. Together, these authors have taught thousands of developers Java technology using the HeadFirst concept.
