Early Adopter JSP Standard Tag Library

Rating:
Summary: = * *
Review: As I have found with most Wrox books, there may be a lot of talking, but it does not seem to me that much is said. In mid-Feb 2002, I think there is some question whether the first version of the JSTL spec is complete enough to release a book ostensibly describing it, even with the "early adopter" disclaimer. In any case, I think this book has weak content even in areas where there is stability in the specification.

I am one to think it is often worth something for the time saving provided by a book which does little more than put together content easily accessible via specs and supplementary web pages, but not this book at this price. Until something better comes along, I recommend just going to the Sun "taglibraries" page and reading the most basic stuff off there.

For someone who makes good living by having superior JSP skills, this book may in some sentence somewhere provide some little angle or insight which makes it worth the time spent reading it. I do not think it is a _bad_ book; I just think it does not offer much.
