This review is from: JavaServer Pages: Your visual blueprint for designing dynamic content with JSPTM (Paperback)

I kind of agree other reviewers. This book is really for those who has the experience of JAVA and knowledge of related topics. I read this book for the running project of e-commerce course, in which the mentor assign group project to do a website to sell shoes. I know nothing about JSP before. But with this book, page by page, I got a big picture of how it works. Some coding can be used instantly to my project. I have a feeling, each time if embitious to buy a big book, it usually ends up with quit half on the way. Why not start with a easy one? If you have time and intrest, some nuts-and-bolts book could be for advanced phase. In a nutshell, this one is nice for the first glance of JSP.

2.0 out of 5 stars Returning my copy!, Feb 14 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: JavaServer Pages: Your visual blueprint for designing dynamic content with JSPTM (Paperback)

Like all the other books in its series, this book is simple and easy to follow. It starts with a brief introduction to Java programming before diving into JSP material. The topics that it covers include: using variables, creating and handling forms, dealing with cookies, adding javabeans, interfacing databases, error handling, custom tags, file handling and servlets.
However, it covers each topic ever so briefly, often ignoring critical details that would leave you unable to make your page display at all! For example, in the Javabeans section, the book tells me to look up my web server for where I store Javabeans. Generally, this book follows a narrow track of possibilities and is best utilized as a throw-away training manual.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy it... I'll give it to you, if you want.
It's not for beginners. You will need other books to understand it. Most pages are too basic, and it suddenly introduces higher level stuff from nowhere.... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst book I've ever read
The 'beginners' are not only the readers of this book, but also the auther & technical support. As other books they've published, it's not for 'beginners'. Read more
