Summary: Get this book if you like Java, and want to run a server.
Review: The only language I really know is Java, yet I wanted to implement a server. Chapter 17 does the client-side, Chapter 18 does the server-side, and it's all in Java (with 2 lines af Executable Script!). So if you want all your client/server needs written in Java, get this NOW.

Summary: Finally, a book that covers multiple web topics.
Review: CWP covers many important aspects of web development including HTML, CGI, Java, JDBC, and JavaScript. This book was not only easy to read while conveying the fundamentals of web programming, it was ENJOYABLE!
HTML, forms processing, and CGI scripting are covered in detail. Anyone from novice to web expert will find these chapters an excellent learning tool and reference. Java makes up the majority of the book with many tested examples (which can be "borrowed") that illustrate practical uses of the covered topic. What was especially valuable were the sections on threading, sockets, double buffering, cgi parsing, and the AWT. All the classes in this book are well designed with reuse as a top priority. Not only do you learn important Java topics, you get a grounding in good programming practices.

Summary: Covers most important web development features in 1 book.
Review: Why spend $100 or more on several web development books? Core Web Programming combines the most important web development features in one book. HTML, Java, CGI and JavaScript are all fully covered; not just a simple overview. The book also does an excellent job of covering the HyperText Transfer Protocol and Client/Server aspects of the Web. Core Web Programming is the type of book the web developer will reach for again and again. The book is equally suited for the instructor looking for a single book for a web development class.

Summary: Covers the fine points
Review: This is an excellent book for those of us who want to know WHY something is done in a particular way or should be done in a different way. I highly recommend this book as a desk reference to both seasoned Java programmers and newbies. The examples are excellent and the online code repository admirably complete. They work and can be used in professional situations.
