Rating:  Summary: Excellent introduction Review: This is a great introduction to JSP. It is true that there are some typoes but they are mostly harmless. I don't know how many typoes are in the code samples, because I didn't hardcopy them. My "system" is to try to make up my own code by reading, trying to understand and apply, not by typing someone elses code like a monkey typist.This book covers all you need to know about JSP but some preknowledge of servlets helps. Nothing fancy, just go through some servlet -tutorial on the web and you are done. You need to know the structure of a servlet, that is the initialization, destruction and the doService() method (incl. doGet() and doPost()). That will help you with JSP in general. Because writing JSP code is actually writing servlet code. The first chapter is just an introduction. If you are in a hurry, you only need to read chapter 2! It shows you how to create JSPs and assuming you know java, you can do some impressive stuff right then and there. But if you want to create custom JSP tags, or need some samples as how to write database or ldap-applications (ie. you are not that experienced with java) then you will find all you need from the subsequent chapters. Tryly worth having!

Rating:  Summary: Excellent book Review: This is an excellent book if you are new to JSP like myself. ALso, Core Servlet and Java Server Pages is another excellent book, but it does not cover JSP in depth as this book does.
Rating:  Summary: good book Review: This JSP book is a good book in the market. It covered a wide range knowledge in e-Commerce. It is easy to understand and very useful in practical.
Rating:  Summary: Very good book if you like to learn by doing! Review: Very good book if you like to learn by doing, analyze example code and get hands on. If you just want to read about JSP while wading through mundane descriptions and theory than this book is not for you. I would also like to recommend "Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages" by Marty Hall, "Pure JSP" by James Goodwill and "JavaServer Pages" by Ben Forta. Also makes a nice companion to any of the above mentioned books.
