Learning J2EE

I was at the Knutepunkt larp conference in Norway, and there I met Verneri, a friend, and he whispered something more or less to the effect of:

> “Make yourself useful with J2EE.”

Hm, Enterprise computing. Where the jobs are. So, I asked what the first step was, and he answered the day after:

> “Install [the application server] jBoss. ”

And, I have. Now there are quite a few tutorials from Sun, on J2EE.

I have only met the J2EE thing in polemics, as yet, and my first impression of the thing is verboseness. Very much talk from an application like that. But there **are** things to read, unlike in other environments.
