J2EE for Beginners

Hi everybody,

I’m glad to welcome the viewers and experts to my blog.

I’m an SME (Subject Matter Expert) working for a reputed e-learning concern on J2EE.
My motto is to educate the learners about J2EE comprehensively and effectively from scratch.
I’m looking forward to your valuable suggestions and comments to give the best output to my learners. As an initiative, herewith I’m providing the lesson list of J2EE.

The lesson list covers the basics of J2EE, Servlets and JSP in the first phase. I’m planning to add EJB, RMI, JTA, XML and Web Services in the second phase. Finally I will add JNDI, Java Mail, JMS and JMX in the third phase of J2EE.

Your comments on these segments and the lesson list are gladly welcome.
