3.0 out of 5 stars Decent quickstart book, May 15, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: JavaServer Pages: Your Visual Blueprint to Designing Dynamic Content with JSP (Paperback)

This is a decent JSP book, but to use it, you'll need to have some prior experience with Java or have another Java reference handy because explainations are brief and not always worded in the best way. I think this book actually serves the purpose of a quick reference better than a tutorial.

I like how each topic opens to its own two page section, breaking things down into digestable chunks of information. However, what I find rather annoying is how code is displayed in various stages of being typed. It presents the reader with the rather tedious task of trying to figure out what was added between snapshots of the code in Windows Notepad. To me, it doesn't make sense to have different shots of 15 lines of code progressively being typed out with explainations given for key points within the incomplete code. I would much rather see those 15 lines all at once and read the explainations of the points of interest like every other book does (and for good reason).

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy it... I'll give it to you, if you want., December 19, 2001

This review is from: JavaServer Pages: Your Visual Blueprint to Designing Dynamic Content with JSP (Paperback)

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.... The technical support will refer you ... - just use the website instead!

Perfect book for experienced programmers, as well as new comers, who just begin to learn JSP coding. Read this book first to get your hands on feeling and then read other books for theory. Nice content design, simple to understand. If you cannot start JSP coding from this book, don't try others.
