    Great for Both Beginner and Experienced.  Well-Organized.  Well-Indexed.  Easy to Read.
  

*by W***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2017*

I bought this book for a bit of self-study on a couple of isolated topics.  It has turned out to be a well-indexed and well-organized reference book for bouncing around between topics, but also as an excellent sequential tutorial. At first, the book's size is a bit intimidating; however, it's style is for facing pages to re-enforce one another -- the left-hand page is a textual explanation while the right-hand page has figures, examples, and a summary to re-enforce what you read on the left-hand page.  It works quite well.I'm a relative neophyte to Web servers, Servlets, and JSP; but have been programming professionally for over 45 years across a broad spectrum of software languages and technologies.  This book contains plenty of detail; although a Servlet/JSP expert might say it stops short of maximum/full coverage.  The only problems I have encountered are that the target is moving.  So far, this book is closer to current than any of the others I've tried.I'm sufficiently happy to purchase more of Murach's books on other topics, and to recommend this one to anyone without hesitation.

    Excellent coverage of Java Servlets and JSP
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2015*

Using this book and this book only I was able to wrap my mind entirely around the Servlets and JSP world.Servlets are Java classes which extend a specific class called HTTPServlet, and this book explains that in details. If that previous sentence just flew over your head (i.e. you are wondering what a Java class is, what does extending means and so on), you should not get this book yet, and focus on Java first. On the other end, JSPs are based on top of HTML, so it would be useful to have a working knowledge of HTML as well (though the book offers a quick intro on it).The book follows the typical Murach style (love it or hate it) with detailed explanations on the left, and summaries on the right page. Also the code seemed to work fine on my machine. It's also quite readable (keep in mind this is a technical book, so I'm speaking within that context). I'm 80% of the way through and I have learned a tremendous amount. We use Java at work and I was a newcomer to using Java for web applications, and I'm now able to see servlet-related exceptions and not freak out, know which class called what, what the error likely means, how to fix things up and just generally how this whole thing works. Life is really beautiful when you are a programmer not at the constant mercy of Google searches. JSPs are in a world of their own and I thought the coverage was excellent as well.Stepping back a little, I would add that Servlets and JSP are foundational technologies/tools that many Java frameworks, such as Spring MVC, build on top of. As a result it is very much possible to learn those frameworks without knowing Servlets and JSPs. However you will be running into errors ("javax.servlet.ServletExceptions...") in your stacktraces and you will generally feel lost in those. StackOverflow is cool, but it's not ideal to get the big picture. Also the book does an excellent job of covering files such as web.xml and the meaning of their tags, so that you are not lost figuring out what is happening. Doug Crockford (inventor of JSON) once told me (I was a student) that programmers vastly underestimate the time spent in the *abyss*. That world where you are trying to debug little stuff and you lose track of time, and end up thinking it took you less time to figure it out, while it actually took an eternity. Overall I think a solid architectural knowledge mixed with good details and examples (which this book does provide), pays great dividend in keeping you from descending into the abyss.Overall this book delivers its cost. Get it and be disciplined enough to go through it and stop and understand along the way. I think it's well worth it. I haven't found any other one that gives this good of a coverage of the title topic. If you do please let me know and I can amend this review.

*by A***V on Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2018*

This book serves as a brief introduction into Java Servlets and JSP. It's good for learning the basics but not enough for developing real web applications. For instance, it completely lacks info on Spring Framework and discusses JPA only briefly.
