by Marty Hall
Marty sez: "Real Code for Real Programmers! This book is aimed at serious software developers. This is ... a hands-on book aimed at helping programmers who are already convinced of the need for dynamic Web sites get started building them right away. In showing how to build these sites, I try to illustrate the most important approaches and warn you of the most common pitfalls. Along the way, I include plenty of working code: more than a hundred documented Java classes, for instance. I try to give detailed examples of the most important and frequently used features, summarize the lesser-used ones, and refer you to the APIs (available on-line) for a few of the rarely used ones. "
