Solid Effort... A must Have for Struts developers....

I have just about all the Struts books. I reach for this book quite a bit. It is a great reference book. It is well written and well organized.If you are doing serious Struts development, you should probably have both "Struts in Action" (Manning) and this book.I reach for the Manning book the most. It seems to have the most information. I reach for this book second. This book seems to be better organized than the "Struts in...

A Great Advanced Guide to Struts

This book is a must have! I've been programming with Struts for about 6 months and I didn't want a beginners guide. This book hits the perfect level with me and covers the stuff that I wanted to know about. It's definitely not a beginners guide, although I think even beginning Struts developers should read it to save themselves time later.Here's why I'm giving it five stars:Chapter 1 - Covers MVC and Model 2 Background and...

This book was written specifically to teach Struts developers how to fish; it wasn't designed to fish for us. This...

Must buy!!

Struts has quickly become the leading framework for developing Java-based web-applications. This book does a terrific job of discussing the various elements of the Struts framework, from the ground-up. Starting with an introduction to the MVC pattern, the author clearly defines the role of the basic elements of Struts and delves into how to model and extend these components to write real-world applications.For users already...

An Awesome book on Struts!

I read the draft chapters of this book and found the coverage to be excellent and the author's style to be very good. The material that was posted to theserverside.com was so helpful and shows that the author is comfortable with his ability to write and teach the topic of Struts.Reason why this is must have: - Covers Struts 1.1 - Covers advanced topics - The exception handling and logging chapters alone are worth the $$$...
