Develop a Java web based application with ease

This book did it for me! I was struggling reading numerous books on how to get started developing a Java web based application. Here in this book it explains clearly in steps (snap shots) how to configure Eclipse with the various technologies. How to write basic but essential JSP , Servlets..etc and how to debug it and like wise. Read the iterations. It was very rewarding for me by the time i completed reading and practicing the examples given. It boosted my confidence towards continuing to learn everything I need to know about building Java web based applications.

Review from Web Tools Platform Past Committer

To give a brief background about myself. I have been one of the primary contributor and committer of the Web Tools Platform (WTP) eclipse tools project since its inception through WTP 1.5 release. I contributed the Validation Framework component for this project. I read a large portion of this book and can say that this most comprehensive book that explains the complete WTP in a step by step fashion that can be help you easily understand the whole WTP project, its sub projects, its components and features through several real world examples. I strongly recommend this book to all users and contributors of WTP. Vijay Bhadriraju, IBM

Excellent: How books on programming should be written

Eclipse Web Tools Platform: Developing Java(TM) Web Applications This is an excellent book; I specially liked the iterative approach (for example, for presentation tier, iteration 1: HTML, iteration 2: add CSS, iteration 3: add Javascripts, iteration 4: XML and XSLT, iteration 5: DTD)authors have taken. I have used examples from this book, with Eclipse and NetBeans, of course for Eclipse user this book has added value, since it goes through configuration of Eclipse and recommended practices. Please ignore the gripe about errors in the code; there are two minor errors which are detailed in the errata on book's companion site, it doesn't take more than a minute to fix those two issues. Authors discuss All three tiers in great detail. How about this, by page 85 you would be deploying a simple web service (and you would be amazed how simple it is).

Great book for getting up and running with WTP

Though I have had some experience in Java, Eclipse, and WTP, a recent project required me to get more into depth. This book got me through the whole development process. It explained to me clean coding techniques when writing web apps in Java, how to get my web server up and running for use with WTP, to get my apps to talk to the server, debugging using different tools, and unit testing in a web environment. This book was an invaluable addition to my collection, and is also a great reference now that I have mastered these concepts.
