JavaServer Pages (JSP) is an increasingly popular technology for building dynamic web applications that can access databases and provide an interactive experience for your site's users. JSP is built on top of the Java programming language, and so this book will teach you both JSP itself and the fundamentals of Java.

You'll learn how the web works and how JSP fits in, how to get input from the user and create web pages 'on the fly', how JavaBeans components and tag libraries allow you to make your code more readable and easier to maintain, and of course how the Java language itself works. The book also covers how to handle errors in your code, the best ways of designing web applications, and rounds up with a comprehensive case study - a web site for a local tourism authority.

Who is this book for?
Anyone who knows HTML can use this book - no previous programming experience is required, and you will learn both JavaServer Pages (JSP) and the Java language on which it is based. This book is also suitable for more experienced programmers who need an introduction to Java and web programming. All the code can be used on either a Windows or a UNIX (e.g. Linux) system.
