During JavaLand, I had the pleasure to meet Michael Müller. Michael is well known in the German Java sphere as he wrote numerous articles for various IT medias. In addition, Michael is an avid JSF user and a JSF EG member.
Michael is currently writing a book titled "Web Development with Java and JSF". Since Michael is a passionate JSF user, JSF is obviously an important topic in his book. But this is not another book about JSF only. Michael's goal is to cover Web Application development at large. That means that different but related topics are also discussed through his book. There are for examples sections on JPA, Bean Validation, Responsive Design, ... Michael also plan to touch on subject such as Web Application testing with Selenium, etc.Michael has decided to use “a more fair” publishing approach where the book has 2 prices: a minimum and a suggested price. Based on that, the potential buyer is free to decide how much he wants to pay. This approach gives the buyer the ability to decide how much s/he think the book is really worth but this also gives the author more financial rewards as there is no intermediary between the publisher and the author.
A great deal of the book has already been written (+240 pages) but Michael is planning to add extra content. You can read a sample here. "Web Development with Java and JSF" is available in the usual eBook formats (PDF, Mobi, ePub) and once you've bought it, you are entitled to get the updated versions for free.
