Excelent

The book is extremly good, it explain everything about JSP and other new technologies, i really recomend it

Does not fail to amaze me..

This book is the perfect complement to Marty Hall's Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages Vol. 1...."You wont be dissapointed with this book since almost everything is covered here from Servlets,JNDI,JDBC,JAXP and Java Mail....Plus the authors writing is absolutely beginner-friendly...If you want to learn the basics of java however this book is not for you...but then the power of Java really shines on Server-side programming...and plus the J2EE architecture is centered on JSP technology...I would recommend this to anyone who wishes to dwell into web-services programming...One downside i found however was the repetition of several topics such as XML and XSLT however provided with the fact that this is the culmination of several authors work i think with that said the repetition of topics can be forgiven...hell if ya already know the stuff from chapter 6 and its repeated on chapter 8 hell skip it...its that simple....highly recommended for JSP beginners and gurus alike

Excellent JSP reference with solid software engineering

This is a hefty tome weighing in at 1262 pages. Wrox have a sound reputation for producing excellent programming titles, for programmers by programmers, and this latest offering does not disappoint. From the onset, it is clearly an outstanding work with a solid emphasis on writing code properly. The book has lucid sections devoted to design patterns, testing, model-view architectures and many other important considerations in good software engineering. This is not just a "sequence, selection, repetition" work but one which distills obvious years of experience. Any reader can have confidence they will be not just a JavaServer Page (JSP) code cutter after finishing, but a good, professional, developer with a mastery of principles than transgress language boundaries. The book is divided into four broad sections. Part one covers JSP fundamentals. Part two builds on this putting the JSP language knowledge into the framework of modern Web server software development, including coverage of servlets, security, performance and database integration. Part three puts it all together and shows how to build two complete real-world applications: a personalised portal, and an updateable, data-driven shopping cart site. Part IV concludes with appendices and exercise answers. The book is not simply a standalone volume; Wrox have a hierarchy of Java titles which progress from beginning Java and JavaServer Pages through to advanced J2EE development. That said, this book can be entirely appreciated on its own and is comprehensive and complete in its coverage of JSP. It does not make any assumption of previous programming experience, but at the same time does not bog experienced programmers down with basic fundamentals. The price is surprisingly reasonable for a book of this quality and size and consequently it is an indispensable purchase for anyone who wishes to develop server-side JSP apps.

Perfect book to get started

Beginning JavaServer Pages is an extremely practical guidebook especially recommended for server-side Java Developers, uses explicit instruction, examples, and sample codes to instruct the reader in JSP application basics, development, and applying JSP in J2EE and JSP component development. A technical user's manual that goes into express detail, offering explicit syntax and step-by-step discussion of technical applications.
