Head First Servlets & JSP 2nd Edition
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.
