Poor book for Java Servlets

As I said above, the book focus on JDBC, not servlet, so the material covered on servlet is not enough, especially for beginner, they may not even know how to get a parameter from a form. Moss is good in JDBC, so nearly 1/3 of the book focus on JDBC instead of java servlets, if you are really want to learn servlets, don't buy this book.

Read oreally or wrox instead, don't buy this book if you really want to learn servlet. Only buy this when you like JDBC on java servlet.

Don't waste your money
I have gained very little from this book. Sketchy coverage. There are much better books: Core Servlets,Hall; O'reilly Servlets, Hunter .

Good for starters
But it's very very basic. This book is easy to understand, written in a very clear way. If you don't know much about Java Servlets, this should be a very good way to start with - but if you're looking for a book with more info, this one isn't suitable. By the way, there were many strange inaccurate facts in the book. (i. e. , the author says "Many people believes cookies can be a risk to user's privacy, which is obviously not true". I took an entire course about these things - Has the author EVER heard of DoubleClick? . Also, where did the author get the idea that Microsoft Access comes with Windows. . you have to buy it separately).
