Negative Positive
Title: Highly technical, quite disjointed.
Review: I bought this book after some consideration, but wish i had went for one of the other current JSP books on the market. The problem i find with wrox books is that by having numerous writers, they don't read each other chapters, and consequently repeat each other over and over.I found this book to be far too big as well. For example, for each JSP example, they print the corresponding servlet code. This takes up a lot of space, particularly in the early chapters and is pretty useless in my opinion. Also there is a glaring typo on the first page of the book which dosnt instill confidence. I think this may be a good book for people already using JSP pages, and looking for extra technical knowledge. However for people like myself, interested in learning how JSPs work and where they fit into server side java solutions, its not the best buy! Its not a bedtime read, one for the office bookshelf.
