To me that sounds a bit contradictory: a big picture for me is a high 
level overview where I can see all parts - just very abstract.  A live 
demo may also show a complete application but you will see a lot of details.

Really all?  Besides the already mentioned JEE technologies that would 
also include CSS, JavaScript, potentially a UI framework like AngularJS 
or ExtJS, XPath, knowledge about HTTP(S), maybe even load balancing and 
proxies.  The landscape is quite huge.

The key question is: what is your goal, i.e. what do you want to do with 
the knowledge you gain?

Another way to waste time would be to search for the perfect book... ;-)
