This DVD really worked for me, Technical books are good as a reference but this gives you a very good grasp of JSP's in a short time frame, great job Neil!
The only downside that I saw is the technical production, must be a better way to present the code rather than "filmilng" the computer screen, well maybe I should buy a 60" HDTV screen after all!

This is just excellent. I love how Neal Ford dissects Jsp in front of your eyes. Really learned a lot from this title. Keep up the good work, Neal.

Neal Ford is certainly the best of DVPress (Now Defunct) speakers and he understands the subject well. As with his other DVDs however, I was often distracted by mistakes and the later discovery of them being left in the presentation. He also needs to move the mouse a little slower. There were times when his movement though a problem was so fast it was like a blur, with too much jumping around. If he ever decides to do this type of thing again, he needs to edit the film a bit better so that the viewer doesn't have to replay certain scenes. Neal does know his material though.

Neal Ford is an excellent speaker and presenter. His presentation is concise. This is a great course for beginners trying to learn Java applications for the web. Neal Ford and DV Press, keep up the good work.

DVD Press is the most horrible video presenter and just like all their videos this one is bad too. A company that could teach software programs and stink at just making a program that doesn't have horrible video and sound should be illegal. How could you learn to make an editor when these people cannot script, edit, debug there own program. If this DVD was captured from a java page then the author must not know how to really build a java page well. The only thing good about this video is the name JSP2. Other than that this is just Neal Ford on a video talking about JSP2. There is no proof that he can write, script anything anybody could understand and it would crash as in made with errors. Neal Ford is about as pointless as a piece of hard copy paper with his name on it. Of course, it would probable have typos on it too.
