excelente producto
muy basico pero claro en los conceptos y los ejemplos, una buena herramienta para empezar con la tecnología en ese momento
Good JSP examples and reference book
overall good ref book.. but is not real interesting to read!!!
Great for getting quick grasp...
I've found this book great for getting a quick grasp of JSP and Java Servlets. While I had a little bugger of a time setting the development environment setup, I was breezing through using this book. I'd highly recommend it for beginner to intermediate programmers. I used a coupon from UnderTag.com, so it was almost free for me too.
1st Edition available for free
the first edition of this book is available as a free download from http://pdf.coreservlets.com/. I have not read this book but heard it is good. I gave it 3 stars since it is an older version
This book is the reason I didn't sink
I started a new job 9 months ago, the assignment was to write several large scale web applications in JSP. I am an older female with a new computer science degree in a world of 20 something peers. They refused to give me ANY tips about JSP configuration or Tomcat...heck, they even put a few obsticles in my way in hopes of watching me fail. I HAD java experience, I Had perl experience I HAD HTML web develoment experience and I had a strong desire to suceed. I hit amazon and purchased a few books one of which was this one.9 months later my applications are center stage and receiving RAVE review and this book played a huge part in that success. No, it doesn't take you by the hand if you're not already fluent in programming of some sort, but if you already know how to build websites and program in java, this book is a great tool. It doesn't force you to use some preconceived bean idea to build a cookie cutter application, it just gives pertinent examples and comprehensive explination of the most important and frequently used parts of JSP programming.
The index could be better, but over all it's a great book for new JSP programmers!!
