Great Read
Not a book for beginning programmers, however if you have minimal java experience and are proficient in other languages you will be able to figure it out.
Excellent service - book brand new condition

Superceded by better books
Agreed that Marty Hall knows how to write and produces great books. Knowing this, I can heartily recommend his more recent "More Servlets and JSPs" as it provides more relevant up to date information. For the Java side of things, this offers the most bang for your buck. Outdated, unfriendly
I would be the first person to say that Marty Hall is a gifted writer. His books on Servlets and JSP are my favorite computer books, but this book is far from great. The style is cold, the material delivered too fast with too little explanations and all in all, the attempt to cover everything in one fell swoop fails. I was using the book in a class that tried to cover the material the book does, and as a learning resource it is way too shallow for thorough knowledge, more as an 'In a Nutshell' style instead. A standard
This was used in an MBA-level course on "Development of Web-Based Applications."The course centered on the management of application development, and the actual web-development component of the course was pretty light.However, I've used this book as a resource before and if you use Java this is a must-have. ...

Great Course!!!
I owe Marty a lot for my livelihood. fast track intro, hits salient points
I think this package is great. I would like to see more multimedia presentations such as this one. I would prefer everything to be electronic (presentations, tests, video, everything), and it would be nice if you could mark your place in the course electronically. There's a little too much video of Marty Hall waving his hands around (I'd rather be staring at code, hopefully with the parts he's talking about highlighted). However, overall I think this is an excellent introductory course because it not only familiarizes the reader with servlets and jsp, but also is chocked full of helpful hints, warnings of pitfalls, and guidance on good design practices.Read more

Comprehensive with a footnote
The book covers a lot of ground. I like the fact the the author starts with servlets rather than with JSP pages. This gives the reader a basis for anything else covered in the field of JSPs. Every single thing is supported by an example, which is very nice.
Good book to read
Marty Hall is not just a great developer & writer. He is also a great businessman because after reading this book I had to buy his other book as well - Core Servlets and Java Server Pages.

Great for the IBM 484 Exam!
This book was a big help for me in passing IBM's exams that deal with the J2EE.Good breadth and depth in many of the categories on the exam and Marty puts things in a clear manner so you pick up the concepts quickly.Very well laid out.Read more
