Customer Reviews

This book rocks!

Great examples, quick and too the point explanations make this a very good book to hit the ground running learning JSP.If you are a professional developer like me, and you don't want to deal with a lot of lengthly overwritten explanations and books written by twenty different people (i.e., Wrox publications) this is the book to get. Goodwill knows his stuff when it comes to Java and he is able to convey it to the reader in an understandable way. Also, check out "JavaServer Pages Application Development" by Ben Forta another very good JSP book.

Short, but very usable.

Perfect little book for starting with Java Server Pages. I love small examples that actually work. There are a bunch in here. I learned a lot in a small amount of time with this book.

Concise and portable

Pure JSP is just what I needed--a concise guide to JSP without a lot of fluff. Even if you have one of the monster books, you need to add this to your collection. You'll find yourself reaching for it instead. FWIW, the source code *is* on the publisher's website.

clear and concise tutorial for JSPs

If you?ve got about an hour a day for a week or two, pick up this book and work through it. The chapters and very well laid out and provide a focused study for each of the topics covered. Of course you must be pretty familiar with Java already but JSP and the Servlet API are introduced from the ground up and after working through the first two sections you can safely say, ?I know all about JSP development.? He keeps the best chapter off towards the end with JSP Communication with Servlets. Those 10 pages are worth the price of the book alone. Just try finding this in another book. You can, but you?ll pay twice as much and won?t get any more information than is presented here. It?s also worth mentioning that the book itself is the perfect size for traveling, unlike so many of the ?definitive? guide books which take up half the space in your suitcase. It will be accompanying me to my project sites from now on. One word of caution, the chapter on XML and JSPs require more tinkering with the code and the environment than he lets on.

Really Good Reference

This book is great if you already know something about JSP. There is plenty of code to look at, so if you can learn by example, you wont be disappointed. This is not a book for pure beginners but is great once you get your feet wet with this technology.
