Creator had a very difficult task: to make the creation of sophisticated enterprise applications easy The set of technologies that comprise Java2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) is huge The good side is that J2EE is battle hardened and field proven to be an excellent base for large scale mission critical applications There are many excellent books that cover all of the aspects of J2EE in great detail But all of this leads to the bad side of J2EE: it can be difficult and time-consuming to learn and use Tremendous effort goes into making J2EE as simple as possible, but it remains daunting Java Studio Creator is a huge leap in the simplification of the process of developing J2EE based web applications Developers don't need to deal with all of the gory details: Creator just handles them Instead, developers can focus on what their application does and looks like in a very simple and straightforward way They weave together data sources through a simple drag-and-drop interface Very little knowledge of Java or J2EE is required to develop applications in Creator Creator not only simplifies the process: it also accelerates it This book contains all that you need to know to generate enterprise applications using Creator It doesn't require that you know anything about J2EE or even Java: there are gentle introductory chapters that lead you through what you need to know This is a great entry point for developers from other platforms (like Visual Basic!) to enter the world of large-scale, mission-critical applications It's fun Take the plunge James Gosling Sun Microsystems, Inc Preface You're about to embark on a journey that we hope will prove both enjoyable and fruitful Certainly the aim of any application development tool is to help developers become efficient and allow them to spend time on creative tasks while the tool silently generates the drudgery for them To that end, we hope this book will teach you the ins and outs of Creator so that you can quickly begin to build web applications Before you start, we'd like to take a moment to explain the organization of the book and the "method behind the madness" of our project examples ... and have more fun doing it •
