JavaServer Pages, w. CD-ROM: Amazon.de: Larne Pekowsky: Englische Bücher

Even if you aren't a programmer, you can design Web sites with dynamic content generated by JavaServer Pages (JSPs). That's the idea behind JavaServer Pages, a very approachable and patient tutorial suitable for anyone with a knowledge of basic HTML.

Early sections explain how JSPs and Java servlets work. (In short, JSPs provide an easy way to write servlets, a powerful alternative to CGI scripts or Microsoft Active Server Pages, ASPs). With JSPs, you write HTML with embedded tags so you don't have to be a Java expert to use them.

The strength of this text has to be the author's practically minded tutorial showing off these pages in action. Dozens of short programming excerpts provide a solid tour of basic techniques, including retrieving form variables and generating dynamic content for a sample news Web site. Later, the author delves into the Java programming language itself, along with custom JavaBeans for use within JSPs.

Closing chapters enhance the sample Web site with personalization and even basic e-commerce capabilities. Chances are this "case study" is all you need to start making use of JSPs and beans successfully on your own. By centering on JSPs first and then working inward to the details of Java, the author creates a valuable text that can benefit a wide range of readers. Content creators can learn JSPs and gain exposure to some "real" Java while serious Java programmers can learn a much simpler approach to writing servlets. Provided you know HTML and the basics of Web development, this easy-to-digest and worthwhile book can let you build Web sites that take advantage of one of today's most powerful server-side technologies. --Richard Dragan, amazon.com

Topics covered: History of dynamic content with HTML, CGI scripts, Active Server Pages (ASPs), introduction to Java Server Pages (JSPs) and servlets, JSP comments and basic statements, error handling, request time processing and expressions, implicit JSP objects, retrieving user form variables, properties and serialisation, basic Java programming (variables, keywords, objects, and simple class design), JSP scriptlets, conditionals, scoping rules, local, page, request and session scope, managing session information, designing JavaBeans, database and SQL basics, personalisation techniques, dynamics ads, adding simple e-commerce capabilities, servlet events and APIs, using servlets with JSPs, introduction to XML and multithreaded programming, sample JSP code, and a case study for a news Web site.

Excellent beginners' book on JSPs 21. Juli 2000

Von Marco Polo

Format:Taschenbuch

I agree with some of the reviews presented here that the book is lacking in susbstance in many areas especially in intricate programming examples. However, the author never intended this book to discuss advanced topics. If it were, the book would be titled "Advanced JSPs" or "Enterprise JSPs". But it's not. So take it for what's worth and if you're new to JSPs and server development, you'll like this book. And if you find an advanced book for JSP programming, please let me know.

Mixed Bag 18. Juli 2000

Von Ein Kunde

I remember in high school my writing teachers always said, "Show, don't tell" as a premise for good fiction writing. Pekowsky follows this flawed (at least for computer book writing) ideology by giving the reader a ton of code examples, but fails to explain them thoroughly. He also referred to nebulous technologies as if the reader knew a lot about them especially at the start of the book.

The first part of the book appears geared towards a web page designer rather than a programmer. Pekowsky keeps the Javabean code examples as a black box (a very(!) confusing one, none the less) and in fact does a disservice to the reader. The bean code was contained on the Cd Rom, but when I was reading this in bed, it made it extremely difficult to see what exactly was going on. In addition, I was completely baffled in Chapter 4 where he describes interfacing with a Javabean. This chapter was probably one of the worst chapters that I've read in a computer book in recent memory.

Later, his book switches over to teach the reader Javabeans and Java. The coverage isn't enough to help someone new to the technology and in some cases major details were left out and covered extremely broadly. However, there might be enough to refresh a veteran programmer or one who has a high aptitude for picking up something through spartan writing. I wouldn't attempt to read this book without a thorough knowledge of: HTML, Java, and Javabeans. All in all, I found this book a half way decent overview of the technology (despite being somewhat dry), but I'd hate to use it as my basis for learning JSP.

Finally, the organization could've been improved (show me Java beans earlier and show the code in print). I liked that they kept the examples short and sweet. Will pick up Professional JSP by Wrox to get the details.

Good overview but.... 30. Mai 2000

Von David Zweier

This book provides a relatively good overview of the JSP technology. The first few chapters were very clear and informative. However, in later chapters the author jumps into JavaBeans without much explanation and the remainder of the book feeds off of that. I also found many grammatical errors and even a completely erroneous code listing. Consequently, I would say save your $40.00 and wait for a better book on JSP.
