Head First Servlets and JSP

Looking to study up for the new J2EE 1.5 Sun Certified Web Component Developer (SCWCD) exam?

This book will get you way up to speed on the technology you’ll know it so well, in fact, that you can pass the brand new J2EE 1.5 exam. If that’s what you want to do, that is. Maybe you don’t care about the exam, but need to use servlets and JSPs in your next project. You’re working on a deadline. You’re over the legal limit for caffeine. You can’t waste your time with a book that makes sense only AFTER you’re an expert (or worse, one that puts you to sleep).

Learn how to write servlets and JSPs, what makes a web container tick (and what ticks it off), how to use JSP’s Expression Language (EL for short), and how to write deployment descriptors for your web applications. Master the c:out tag, and get a handle on exactly what’s changed since the older J2EE 1.4 exam. You don’t just pass the new J2EE 1.5 SCWCD exam, you’ll understand this stuff and put it to work immediately.

Head First Servlets and JSP doesn’t just give you a bunch of facts to memorize; it drives knowledge straight into your brain. You’ll interact with servlets and JSPs in ways that help you learn quickly and deeply. And when you’re through with the book, you can take a brand-new mock exam, created specifically to simulate the real test-taking experience.

    I love web development, and after falling in love with Java (and purchasing Head First Java) I was better set for programming in Java. I’m not working through my Bachelor’s degree and as I continue to do little web design for myself I see a longing to be programming. I looked into JSP and this book came with heavy praise so I purchased it.

    So far it is just as capable and well written as Head First Java, and I’m absolutely overjoyed to be able to say that. I’m comfortable that it will give me a good grounding in JavaServer Pages as well as Servlets, and as a bonus I see in the contents it will go over MVC which is great, as well as Struts! Talk about value!

    Thanks for the book!
