Title: This book offers very little to servlet developers.
Review: If you were waiting for a book that offered an in depth treatment of servlets, you'll have to keep waiting. This book on Java Servlets and JDBC offers only 20 pages on Servlets and the content of those pages is pretty thin. Do you really want to see the code for a 'Hello World' or a counter servlet? The author's code is generously shared on a diskette glued to the back cover. For US$50 at least give me the code on CD-ROM! This book reminds me of those overpriced paperback textbooks, written by the instructor, we were compelled to buy in college. I wish JavaSoft would step up to the plate and publish a book that thoroughly covers servlets with useful, annotated examples and maybe even include an appendix of the complete Servlet API classes.
Is the review positive or negative?
