Title: Great book for Java devs looking to extend their skillset.
Review: The content of this book speaks for itself. It's a great way to get involved into different concepts and applications concerning Java, at which time you might want to supplement your chosen area with a book totally devoted to that area; one that covers all the nitty-gritty details.But what I like most about Mr. Hall's books is the numerous examples that are easily used in other applications. Much of this code can be used as the foundation for building very nice larger applications, and it's a lot easier for me to have the beginning pieces completed and just build upon them. I've found this to be true in both of Mr. Hall's books moreso than any other books I've read/owned. The only one that comes close is O'Reilly's "Java Examples in a Nutshell", a book completely devoted to providing only example code, but that doesn't cover Servlets and JSP of course.
