DESCRIPTION
Although CGI scripts provide 80% of today's server side processing, they are slow, inefficient, and memory-hungry. A new species is evolving to take their place, one which is lean, fast, portable, and easy to maintain: Java servlets.
Servlets are not merely an alternative to CGI, for they can do much more. Servlets have opened the door to a world of client/server applications that would have been too difficult or too time-consuming to consider before.
Java Servlets: By Example takes the reader into the world of servlets, moving example by example from the simple to the complex. An early chapter explains the simple HTML form processing through servlets. A later chapter shows how to connect a Java applet to a servlet, which is itself connected to a database.
Java Servlets: By Example is full of real-world, ready-to-run example code. Each chapter deals with a new problem and takes the reader through a series of servlet-based solutions. However, the book is detailed enough that it may also serve as a reference for the developer.

WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY ABOUT THIS BOOK...
"Alan Williamson has done an admirable job of teaching servlet programming through useful, typically non-trivial examples that demonstrate real-world solutions to common problems. If you plan to work with servlets (or already work with them) Java Servlets By Example will help you hone your craft and allow you to draw on some good ideas in the process.
The layered unveiling of concepts, clear explanations, and effective communication make Java Servlets By Example an excellent choice for novice or expert servlet developers alike. The examples are numerous and pragmatic, providing a practical look at the development process and exploring potentially useful foundations you can take and apply in a real commercial solution. In all, this book delivers on the promise of teaching servlet programming by example and represents a fine investment for almost any Java programmer."
--Claude Duguay, DevX.com
"Comprehensive description of everything to do with developer Java servlets. Servlets is a new topic for most developers, and this book covers everything they need to know to get started developing, and then covers more advanced topics. It has plenty of sample code to illustrate the concepts."

WHAT THE READERS SAY ABOUT THIS BOOK...
"…I put this book to the ultimate test. I needed to learn servlets very fast for a client and it succeeded…"
--Billy Barron, Delphi Consultants, reviewed at JavaMUG
