As I have to develop a serious application during my thesis first time ever with Rational Application Developer I was seraching for a good introduction on how to use this mighty tool. I found it, who yould have thought, in an IBM redbook. “Rational Application Developer V6 Programming Guide” is an awesome entrance into the RAD world. Abutted on the classical SUN J2EE tutorial this book describes in detail how to realise a sample banking application with RAD and Websphere Application Server. It covers the realisation of JSP and Servlet-, JSF and SDO-, even Struts based Dynamic Web Application and the integration of EJB Business logic using integrated UML- and other Data modelling tools.
A must read for any person who thinks Eclipse is too much code work
