Made it to the Amazon best seller list (Java category)

Okay, now the “JBoss Seam” book is not only a top 10 best seller in JavaOne 2007. It is also an Amazon.com #19 best seller in the “Computer Programming — Java” category! Since Amazon lists more than 2500 books in the category, that makes it top 1%. I’d like to congratulate myself here. ;) Here is proof:

    Hi I attended J1 this year. I wanted to buy the book I tried once but the bookstore was over-crowded. So when I came back to my country (Greece) i placed an order on Amazon! I have gone through the first chapters till now, and despite the fact that I am a Struts developer I have to admit that the book made me ..get close to Seam and its capabilities. Up till know (few chapters) I consider it well written and straight forward! So well done, and highly recommended to everyone!

    Hi Michael, I am interested reading your book. I was wondering the differences between your book based on seam 1.2 and the forthcoming seam release 2.0. If I read the book and start developing with seam 2.0, are there many differences? My first impression is, that the basics do not change, but release 2.0 offers more functionality on the top of release 1.2. So I assume your book fits also for an introduction to seam for release 2.0?

    Regards,

    Cyrill

    Cyrill,

    Yes, the basics (annotations, component model etc.) will be the same for Seam 1.2 and Seam 2.0. Seam 2.0 adds a lot of new features but it does not break Seam 1.2. :)

    However, you do need to change some configuration settings to migrate from Seam 1.2 to 2.0. See the migration guide in the Seam 2.0 release. I will also update all my examples to Seam 2.0 as soon as it is released.

    cheers
    Michael

    [...] the “second edition” of the original JBoss Seam book I wrote back in 2006, which was a JavaOne and Amazon best seller. But, it is much more than a “sequel” of the original book, my co-author Jacob [...]
