EJB application servers
speed up software
development by
eliminating the need to
build costly
infrastructure. In
particular, developers
don't need to worry about

Most of the time spent in
an application
development project is in
developing and testing
the application. Less
time is actually spent

Iterative development is
a process of growing
software into existence.
While the thought of
software growing may
sound a little strange,
that's exactly what
happens. As you iterate

Your latest assignment

research, and education...
IBM is renowned for their
generosity in providing
extensive documentation
with their technology and

excessive wording of much
of the documentation. IBM

When first presented with
the idea of moving into a
WebSphere production
environment, I looked for
the exit door. I had been
designing in a Web
environment since it went
graphical in 1994.
Through the years I used
a relatively small...
If application servers
like WebSphere are the
heart of e-business, then
the database is surely
