Title: Don't buy this book
Product review: I agree with what the author said at the beginning. The job of a programmer is to write program not to write book. The cost of the book doesn't justify for the content of it. The book doesn't explain Strut's framework. It is more like an exercise work book showing you how to build a web application without much explaining. In appendix A, the author asks you to download and install a whole bunch of softwares and jar files. He doesn't show you how to install these softwares on your system. You are on your own. Then in each chapter, he asks you to write or download file to run the exercise without much help. In the book, the author mentioned because of the economic slow down he decides to write book. I respect his way of earning a living and his talent...
