5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed!
Jeff Heaton has done an excellent job with this book! I get tired of bloated, windy programming books. Usually I buy a book to help me get started on a task at hand. This books definitely got me started and instantly allowed me to reap the benefits of JSTL! (Although I still prefer Coldfusion MX ;)

2.0 out of 5 stars Big book, bad code, little help
This is a relatively large book and one would expect it to have a lot of material inside. Suprisingly, it does not.
JSTL is described at length but the more you delve into the book you find that you are not learning much and that examples are not really applicable. Another qualm with this book is that its examples contain really bad HTML code - and I know, we are...

This review is from: JSTL: JSP Standard Tag Library Kick Start (Paperback)
This is a relatively large book and one would expect it to have a lot of material inside. Suprisingly, it does not.
JSTL is described at length but the more you delve into the book you find that you are not learning much and that examples are not really applicable. Another qualm with this book is that its examples contain really bad HTML code - and I know, we are dealing with JSPs and JSTL, but if you are an author, correct HTML will not hurt.

There are other books available on the topic - get one of them (stay away from JSTL: Practical Guide which is even worse than this book).
