J2EE Learning Guide

This guide gives you a well presented detailed overview of J2EE and includes articles, tutorials, examples, tips, tools, and expert advice to increase your J2EE knowledge and understanding quickly. J2EE is an abbreviation for Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition, which is the Java platform designed for the mainframe-scale computing typical of large enterprises. Sun Microsystems (together with industry partners such as IBM) designed J2EE to simplify application development in a thin client tiered environment. J2EE simplifies application development and decreases the need for programming and programmer training by creating standardized, reusable modular components and by enabling the tier to handle many aspects of programming automatically.
