The book got me started with developing ofbiz. There was still a lot to learn after reading the book, but you have got to start somewhere…

After reading 5 chapters and skimming through the rest!! this book is a waste of time!

The authors tried to simplify the architecture of the rather complicated ofbiz but they end up leading you blindly into carrying out some copy-paste operations!!! they even refer to line numbers in the code files of the framework without telling you why did you add the new code or changed the existing!

seriously it is a time vampire — not for beginners nor pros!!

Hi Ugo,

Thanks for your comments. I put a link back from “In the News” on OFBiz site (http://ofbiz.apache.org/).

I was a reviewer of this book, and I mostly agree with what you think. However, as you said, despite its shortcomings, I think this book can help beginners to grasp OFBiz. At least for release 4.0, and even if Release 9.04 (following now Ubuntu numbering style) will come soon, most things still apply.
