Summary: good for getting up to speed on JSTL
Review: This book was very helpful for getting up to speed on JSTL. My company is about to kick off a new struts project, so we needed to get up so speed on using JSTL with Struts. There wasn't much coverage on this, but overall the book was good.

Summary: Good Resource all things considered
Review: This is a good book to learn about how to use JSTL. It has an excellent reference section, and the body of the book explains how to use the JSTL tags with many good example. On the whole, a very useful, readable book. One negative: The author has a sense of humor which some might find odd, and he interjects it throughout the book; at times it's distracting. But if you can get past that, you'll find this to be a good resource.

Summary: Best Available
Review: This is by far the best JSTL Book on the Market at this time. The Book was organized and well written and their were plenty of good examples. I would have liked to have had more Chapters that were aimed at Java Programmer's but that wasn't the purpose of the Book.

Summary: a good tutorial
Review: What the book is:- the best JSTL tutorial I've found to learn JSTL from What the book isn't: - a good reference book if you already know JSTL I got great value out of the book when I was first learning JSTL, but this book doesn't have the depth to hold my interest as a more proficient JSTL user. The reference material isn't very well formatted, and it can be somewhat difficult to find what I am looking for. Nonetheless. I highly recommend this book as a tool to learn the JSTL.

Summary: Very useful and understandable
Review: While the technical specification of JSTL is readable like most hi-tech documents are "readable" (i.e. it left me sometimes a bit puzzled), this book is both deep and full of very useful examples. Sometimes, in my opinion it goes too far (programming a message board with JSTL), but this only goes to show how powerful JSTL really is.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading it: It made a lot of things clearer and there were a couple of times where I thought: "Oh, I didn't know that JSTL could do that!".
