Product Description
Looking to study up for the new J2EE 1.5 Sun Certified Web Component Developer (SCWCD) exam?
This book will get you way up to speed on the technology you'll know it so well, in fact, that you can pass the brand new J2EE 1.5 exam. If that's what you want to do, that is. Maybe you don't care about the exam, but need to use servlets and JSPs in your next project. You're working on a deadline. You're over the legal limit for caffeine. You can't waste your time with a book that makes sense only AFTER you're an expert (or worse, one that puts you to sleep).
Learn how to write servlets and JSPs, what makes a web container tick (and what ticks it off), how to use JSP's Expression Language (EL for short), and how to write deployment descriptors for your web applications. Master the c:out tag, and get a handle on exactly what's changed since the older J2EE 1.4 exam. You don't just pass the new J2EE 1.5 SCWCD exam, you'll understand this stuff and put it to work immediately.
Head First Servlets and JSP doesn't just give you a bunch of facts to memorize; it drives knowledge straight into your brain. You'll interact with servlets and JSPs in ways that help you learn quickly and deeply. And when you're through with the book, you can take a brand-new mock exam, created specifically to simulate the real test-taking experience.

Good Introductory Book
I have used Java for a long time, but just started JEE. This has a lot of theory explaining MVC and how to use JSP and Servlets.
After reading the book I can program JSP & Servlets, but I am now looking into useing frameworks.
There were code examples that demonstrated all the ideas and was done quite well. For a seasoned JEE programmer unless they are taking the exam, this may not be the right book, but for someone in the beginning of JEE this would be a great book.
The Bible
Prior to reading this book I had no exposure to servlets or jsp. After reading this book a couple of times and studing the actual specifications, I crossed my fingers and took the test. I got 82% on the test (which is a great mark for the test).
The book covers all the objectives of the test in a very humorous way. The repitition helped ensure the concepts. The Mock Exams were an excellent guide to gauge my understanding of the material.
If you follow the books instructions (read each chapter, do the activities, take the mock test until you get 80%) you will do great.
The javaranch provided a great place to discuss concepts from the book. The authors of the contribute to the forum as well.
Awesome book!!
and also awesome cover girl of the book...kidding :P .
I have no comments about this book further(the amazon ratings speak for itself). I bet even Homer or Peter Griffin can learn j2ee by reading this book! :)
