Summary: Great for the IBM 484 Exam!
Review: This book was a big help for me in passing IBM's exams that deal with the J2EE. Good breadth and depth in many of the categories on the exam and Marty puts things in a clear manner so you pick up the concepts quickly. Very well laid out.I'd also mention this book is way more than just servlets/jsp's, it also has a ton of stuff on really understanding the deployment of J2EE webapps and how to really get the most out of your web.xml. It also has good coverage of j2ee security and JSTL. Hope this helps others decide.

Summary: The best book on Servlets and JSP
Review: This is a great book. It helps clear concepts and presents a detailed view of web components. Along with this, it gives you a lot of good quality code. I do not think,u need more:-)

Summary: Great book!!
Review: This is one of the better technical books that I have read. It is well written with great examples. I especially recommend it to anyone who is planning to use Apache's Tomcat. Tomcat documentation is horrendous and this book will save you many hours of scouring the net for good tutorials. I just wish I found this book before I went through that fate.

Summary: Another little gem by Marty
Review: What makes this book way superior to other texts about
java web development is nor the broad range of topics treated,
or the cleverness of the author, or his good preparation in the subject, or his coding abilities. You might find all or a few of these in the zillions of servlet/jsp books around.. but you won't find a great teacher like Marty so easily.
That si probably due to the fact that this guy is not a code
munching corporate programmer but comes from an academic background. He teaches for a living, and it shows...
Finally someone who knows how to explain without boring you to death,
or annoying you pretending to be a comedian in the IDGish style that' become so common among book writing nerds with a hopeless sense of humour. Marty gives you the full story but makes it really simple, because, let's face it.. web developement IS SIMPLE even for the average programmer.. unless someone throws you a fuss of code snippets and incoherent or incomplete explanations. Marty will clearly explain a concept, relate it with the rest of the picture and give you at least one working example you can try out. This is how a technical writer should
be like.
