 Too short
Compared to other computer books this book is to shallow and does not cover the depths of Seam. I would like a more continous example throughout the book instead of a collection of small, rather trivial examples.
 Very good introduction to Seam and what WebApp dev should be!
It's not a cookbook with ready made recipes. It gives a shallow but complete overview of the Seam framework features. That is important because if you don't know it exists you will never try to use it. Examples: XHTML validation tags for Hibernate, conversation state, and much more.
It's a must read to get a good start with Seam and to learn what WebApp development should have been from the beginning.
 Excellent book on seam
Its a great book.. It difficult to learn Seam without this book.
It may be slightly dated, with Seam 2.0 coming out recently.
But per the author, there are not significant changes in the code
ie mainly config changes.
(eg they recommend JPA with tomcat instead of embedded server option
with tomcat)
Seam(and specifically seam-gen) still has some significant bugs/issues
to iron out(but workaround exists).
 Good for Learning, Not as Good for Reference
This is a very good book for learning about SEAM, a web framework that I would consider one of the best for its simplicity and power. However, what this book is best at is teaching you the basics of SEAM (though is some areas, such as stateful navigation rules, it doesn't go deep enough).
Where this book lacks most is as a reference book. The reason for this is that many concepts are introduced well before the chapters that talk about them. When looking back at these concepts, I find myself having to find the first place the concept is introduced because the chapter about that assumes that you have read the earlier introduction.
Overall this is a good book for learning the basics of SEAM. However, it is not a good in-depth reference. Nevertheless, SEAM is an excellent technology and there are not yet many good books on it. This book will bring you up to speed on SEAM pretty quickly so I still recommend it.
EXCELLENT INTRODUCTION TO SEAM!
I needed to develop a project and fast. I purchased this book because I needed to get Seam up and running quickly. I found it very clearly written: with helpful examples and source code. It also provides a introduction to AJAX and has a few chapter on how to integrate AJAX with JSF and Seam. Very interesting! I recommend this book 100 percent!
