In JavaServer Pages 2.0, Sun has added new features that make it even easier to create dynamic, interactive Web pages in Java. These include a built-in expression language and a library of tags (the JSP Standard Tag Library) that facilitate creation of pages.

Sams Teach Yourself JavaServer Pages 2.0 in 24 Hours starts with the basics of JSP, and explains the expression language, JSTL, creating new tags and more. Each lesson builds on the previous one, giving you a full picture of JSP development. Later chapters describe how to incorporate XML, interface with larger Java applications, work with popular frameworks such as Struts, and more. The book includes Apache Tomcat, Sun's reference implementation of JSP, so you can start developing applications immediately.

About the Author

Mark Wutka has been programming since the Carter administration and considers programming to be a relaxing pastime. He managed to get a computer science degree while designing and developing networking software for Delta Airlines. Although he has been known to delve into areas of system and application architecture, he isn't happy unless he's writing code . . . usually in Java.

As a consultant for Wutka Consulting, Mark enjoys solving interesting technical problems and helping his coworkers explore new technologies. He has taught classes, written articles and books, and given lectures. His first book, Hacking Java, outsold Stephen King at the local technical bookstore. He's also known for having a warped sense of humor.

He plays a mean game of Scrabble and a lousy game of chess, and he is the bane of every greenskeeper east of Atlanta. He is also a women's gymnastics judge.
