Java Developer's Guide to Servlets and JSP

Rating:
Summary: Great Book for Intermediates
Review: I found this book very helpful. It's extremely well written and has superb sample code. It covers the servlet API and JSP. The tips on debugging were very insightful. There's a chapter on java and XML which is well done. Brogden also covers EJBs and shows you how to create your own custom JSP tag library. Overall, a high quality, objective book on building web apps with Java, that is not biased toward a particular tool or server. The Appendix serves as a nice reference to the core classes in the JSP and Servlet API. This is the 2nd java book by Brogden that I highly recommend. The other is Java 2 Exam Prep.

Summary: Good Book for the number of pages
Review: I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to read this book. Overall the book succeeded in explaining the main concepts relating to JSP and Servlets. There was also a relatively good discussion of related topics such as XML, JNDI, LDAP and JDBC. The example were OK but could have gone into more depth. Given the number of pages in this book I dont think you can expect to have as much coverage and examples are books with twice as many pages, nor can you expect for it to cover every topic even remotely related to Servlets and JSP. Although I havent read other books my associates also spoke well of CORE JSP and Web Development with Java Servlet Pages

Working knowledge in XML, HTML and JAVA definitely increased my ability to pick up the topics quite easily. It is quite imperative to work through the examples if you wish to be able to learn and understand the basics before you tackle the more advanced topics.
