         Advanced
        JavaServer Pages 
        D. M. Geary 
        Prentice-Hall, 2001 
        In this book, David Gearyfamous for
        his exhaustively researched tomes about Java's GUI capabilitiesturns
        to the server side. Books such as Core Servlets and JavaServer
        Pages (see below) cover the fundamentals of JavaServer Pages
        (JSP), which support the dynamic creation of Web pages. Geary,
        however, assumes that the reader already knows the basics of
        JSP and is ready to become an expert.  |
