Quite a useful book, but with errors, too much on databases, 17 Aug 2001

By	p.radcliffe@derby.ac.uk (Derby, UK) - See all my reviews

This book has a lot of useful material on servlets and JSP and how to link them to mySQL. It's clear and readable but the examples have quite a number of errors and there is a long section on basic databases and SQL, which is probably dead wood to anyone who wants to learn about servlets, JSP and JDBC - which I suspect will be most readers. The explanation of servlets and JSP is good and clear, but slightly frustrating in the lack of depth.

Ideal for real world web development using JSP and servlets., 1 Aug 2001

By	Mohamed Bangura (mbangura@btinternet.com) (London) - See all my reviews

This book does exactly what it says on its front cover. It is well organized, concise and easy to follow even with a very basic knowledge of Java. It deals with real world programming tasks and its coverage on tomcat/ MySql integration is more than perfect. No knowledge of MySql, JSP and Servlets is assumed. The concepts and techniques of developing database driven sites are well explained and illustrated with easy-to-follow examples. Performance tuning, multithreading, Tomcat configuration and user authentication are just some of the extras you would get from this book.

The book does not cover other associated technologies such as RMI, XML, jini, etc. But given that most of these technologies are unnecessary for the vast majority of web sites in the real world, it is safe to conclude that this book is worth every penny.
