EJB books and tutorials
Greetings,
Can one recommend me some books on EJB and some tutorials on EJB ?
Thanks!
EJB: Enterprise Javabeans 3.0 (O'Reilly, isbn 975-0-596-00978-6)
JPA: Pro EJB 3 - Java Persistence API (Apress, isbn 978-1-59059-645-6)
These are the best two books I have read so far.

Interesting difference between books and tutorials
I started coding in Java about four years ago. When I started I learned from a book (that I no longer have), I think it was "Sam's Teach Yourself Java in 24 Hours". I was just a kid then and I became fairly proficient in all of the basic requirements and such. Now, four years later, I am looking into getting back to Java when I can find the time, and possibly getting a certification. Instead of the book, I now use the online tutorials and API docs. Something I noticed about the tutorials is that they use coding methods that I never saw in the book. For instance from this tutorial on using the SpringLayout, the code follows this syntax:
import /*neccessary items*/
public class SpringDemo1 {
* Create the GUI and show it. For thread safety,
* this method should be invoked from the <----I didn't add this. Guessing it has something
* event-dispatching thread. to do with preventing the thread from crashing...?
private static void createAndShowGUI() {
//Create and set up the window.
JFrame frame = new JFrame("SpringDemo1");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
//SpringLayout code here....
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
public static void main(String[] args) {
javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
createAndShowGUI();
}whereas, when I learned from the book, I always did this and I still do:
import /*neccessary items*/
public class myClass extends JFrame {
public myClass() {
//set up GUI here
public static void main(String args[]) {
myClass mc = new myClass();
}If I am going to get my certification, I don't want to be using practices that could cause a program to crash and get someone angry at me. If I am doing something wrong, please chew me out. It's better than losing a job...The book is old-fashioned, that's all. Neither version of the code is so bad that it will crash and you will lose your job and become a drug addict accosting people on the street for money.
The "extends JFrame" version was the usual way to write things back in the early days of Java. And then people started thinking more about object orientation, and noticed that there was nothing in most Swing programs which created a modified JFrame. They simply used the features of a JFrame to get their work done.
So under the flag of "Prefer composition to inheritance", the OO people rewrote the standard Swing application to do that. And so they should... Java is an object-oriented language, after all, so why not do things right? Let's not extend JFrame (inheritance) if we can just create one and use it (composition).
Of course they couldn't go back and change all the paper books and all the thousands of programs that people had already written in the old way, but they could change the tutorials. And they did.
So my suggestion would be to follow the style shown in that tutorial. You won't lose your job over it. In fact being able to explain why you did it might even improve your status at your job. -
Recommendations - books and tutorials on advanced features.
Dear members:
While reading a few books on presentations over the weekend I became quite interested in using some advanced features and animations to enhance my presentations. The books I've read mention these advanced animations but do not give the technical details on how to get them done.
Is there a book (or maybe books) I can read that would cover advanced techniques in Keynote including advanced animation options ? What about tutorial ? Everything I have found only seems to cover the basic.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Joseph ChamberlainHi, Alancito.
Thank you for your help and suggestions.
I have tried the Apple Training Series before and really don't like the format they have adopted. The books in these series try to simulate a class where you have to read and then do some exercise on your computer. This may work well for others but I find it quite difficult annoying to follow this format.
They type of effects I am trying to implement include type effects, transitions (both object transitions and slide transitions) and visual special effects.
I just recently read "Slideology" which is authored by Nancy Duarte, CEO of Duarte Design and the one who designed the entire presentation used by Al Gore for his movie and presentations "An Inconvenience Truth". She describes on this book transitions that she created with text (not for An Inconvenient Truth but another presentation) so that as attendees would walk into the room they would be greeted by this text special effect on the screen. This section appears on page 154 and is titled "Playing Text Animations as the Audience Enters".
This is just a sample of the type of information I am looking for. I haven't even been able to create reflection for text in Keynote let alone any type of interesting special effects for text.
I am looking for books that go beyond the texts offered by Apple to cover basic topics and dive deeper into advanced effects and tricks such as the one above.
Do you have any idea of where I can find information on advanced techniques in Keynote ?
Thank you again for your help,

Photoshop CS3 Book and Tutorial Recommendations
Hi there,
I am a beginner CS3 user. My main interest is in enhancing old graphic prints (not digital photography). By enhancing I mean changing colors, brightness, contrast, and sometimes redrawing a section of the original print. I typically scan the prints and save the images as tiff files that I then open in CS3. I'm running OSX 10.4.11.
There are numerous books on Photoshop CS3 on Amazon, but I am finding it difficult to make a choice. I would like book and tutorial recommendations from the Photoshop user forum community.
Thanks!
AlI'll suggest a different tack altogether. As I'm a visually oriented, I find that being shown is far more effective than reading about things. Parsing intellectual abstractions (language) rather than dealing directly with the subject through imagery always seems like an extra labor... at least at the beginning until I have enough of a syntax built to enable contextual relevance.
With that preface I'd suggest you look at Deke McClelland's video tutorials now available online from Lynda.com. Start with "Photoshop CS3 One-on-One: The Essentials' followed by "Photoshop CS3 One-on-One: Beyond the Basics" and "Photoshop CS3 One-on-One: Advanced Techniques." After Deke's tutorials you will be prepared to dive into any of the many others Photoshop CS3 authors available on Lynda.com.
http://movielibrary.lynda.com/authors/author/?aid=98
When I first started Photoshop, it was so dense and alien that, even with several books to help, I considered myself only a beginner even after a year or so of intense struggle. Then I ran into Deke's training and felt that I made a huge jump in comprehension and skill set in a very short time. I would watch the training and during the first go would do the examples. After once through I would work with PS for a bit to let the training sink in and then watch once more followed by more work. After the third viewing, I'd absorbed almost all I was going to and Deke's jokes were old so it was time to move on.
The training on Lynda.com is very reasonably priced for the value of the training and I would suggest Deke's tutorials to any beginner as a more effective way to start than books. -

Can anybody recommend any good ejb book?
Hi,
I am looking for good ejb books, can anybody recommend any, please?
I would like to have a good book to start with and then another book which could compliment the basics.A lot of effort went into the on-line review of "Mastering EJB 2" by Ed Roman et. al. at www.theserverside.com. The Server Side participants constantly reviewed the book while it was being written! I think it is the best book on EJBs, but don't take my word for it: check it out. You can download the book in non-printable PDF format from www.theserverside.com under the Resources tab. You'll have to sign up (for free) to download the book.

Mac osX 10.6.8
iBook - old version

<Email Edited by Host>Do you mean, you have been creating a Photo Book in iPhoto? Or an iBook in iBook Author?
If you are asking about a photo book in iPhoto, what was the last you did in iPhoto, before the crash happened? Did you add a page with a map?
Then you may have a problem with a bug, where adding a route to a map may render the book unreadable. In that case the best option is to restore the iPhoto library from the last backup you made, before you added the map to the book.
It is not possible to open the book and to delete the unreadable page. You can only delete the book and start over, if this bug is the reason for the crashes. See for example this link: Getting rid of problem photo book -

Using Pages 5.2, I open a document created in a previous version, and I get error messages about certain fonts within a font family being "not available" in OS X. However, these supposedly unavailable fonts are present in Font Book and work just fine in all other apps running on OS X. In fact, I still have the older version of Pages on my system, and it still finds the fonts without issue. The specific fonts troubling me at the moment are Myriad Pro Semibold It and Myriad Pro Cond. Pages 5.2 replaces them with Helvetica. I have wasted hours of time trying to resolve this problem, and I am at a total loss. What can I do?
Like so many other thing is is probably gone. Why not use Pages 09 that has about 100 features more than Pages 5. If you haven't deleted it it should still be in Applications/iWork 09 folder.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded. You should sync your audiobooks to other devices via iTunes on your computer. If your audiobook didn't download correctly or has other problems, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.
To copy the audiobooks from one computer to another, use homesharing, put them on a memory stick or use your Dropbox if your computers are networked. -
I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I recently upgraded to Lion which is causing lots of issues. Aside from that, I went to the Itunes store to purchase books like I have done at least 100 times before with no problems. Now I can by the book and get it to my computer, however when I tried to download the book to my 3rd generation ipod the dialog box informed me that to download any new audiobook purchases I would need an ipod touch. My ipod nano 3rd generation serves my purposes just fine. Why should I be forced to buy something I do not want just to continue something I have always done seamlessly? I know this is more of a rant than a question but I am sure someone else out there has had this happen to them. Maybe you could share your thoughts on how to work around this issue if possible?
I forgot to add the last obvious and crucial step I had taken - plugging a different iPod into my system. It was also not recognized. That was the final proof I needed to determine if the problem was device or system. But now what?
I truly appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks again... -
I just downloaded four books through iTunes. I tried 5 times to sync the books onto my iPhone. They did NOT appear on my iPhone. Previous books synced without problems. I tired syncing ALL books, and also selected book by selecting the new books. No luck. What do/can I do now. iTunes prevents me downloading again. The books show on the computer. I cannot redownload direct to my iPhone now as iTunes indicates the books are already downloaded.What do/can I do now?
You got the new iphone????? I have same problem. I transferred audiobooks to device to find no audiobooks on device (despite it being in iTunes as if it was). Have you found a solution????? I even tried to change import settings on format transfer but hasn't worked.
