Nick:
Of coourse I'll be honored if you decide to use the SCBCD Study Kit for your course. For the classroom usability of this book, I will say the following:
1) Having a teaching/training background myself, the presentation style in the book is very consistent with the class room training. I have attempted to prsent the material in a logical learning sequence: a section builds upon the previous sections and a chapter upon the previous chapters.
2) Have the students download the exam simulator.
3) The students can discuss the topics in the book with other readers at the Author Online forum which can be accessed from
www.manning.com/sanghera 4) Also in the Author Online forum, the students can find the errata (or explanations).
On the same note, the SCWCD study kit and the SCBCD study kit combined nicely cover the topics covered in a typical Server Side
Java Programming course.
Cheers.

Paul,
I will give a training course for some college students to prepare for SCBCD. Since I had read HF EJB and 2 sample chapters from your book, I would like to seek for your comments for the reference materials as well as the teaching aids.
Would you recommend your book for my course? Any issues I should take a look into?
Thanks.
