Java Servlet Programming

I bought a second-hand copy of the first edition, from 1998. The Java Servlet API has advanced somewhat since then. Hence some topics, such as the event model in the Servlet engine, are not covered in this book.

The book gives a pretty complete picture of what it takes to create a dynamic website, offering introductions into topics such as HTTP and SSL.

If you don’t know Java programming, you’ll probably find it not much use. I guess it’s really about giving the Java programmer a start in web programming.

The first edition doesn’t cover J2EE, Enterprise Java Beans, or WebMacro, like the second edition does. Which is a Good Thing, in my book :^) .
