Candle Web Host

Increasing numbers of businesses are making rapid progress in providing information on the Internet and creating their own e-commerce sites, as well as simply accessing information from it. The technological focus is now shifting from the client to the server. This invaluable book describes how to use Java to program for the server and how to create server-side applications and servlets. Java Server and Servlets is an indispensable resource for developers and Java programmers who are responsible for constructing Web-based server-side applications for small to medium-sized companies. It introduces all the relevant technologies and explains how to use them, and then goes on to describe the design principles behind building your own Web server and how to build your own applications. The authors have created their SMI (Servlet Method Invocation), an extension based on the servlet API, and provide their own software, the servlet engine ‘Jo!’. In addition to providing an illustrated example of how to build a web server, the book also covers a framework, WebApp, for the developer who, having understood the principles laid out, can use it as a basis for creating and developing better applications. Features: Introduces principles of web server-based programming, HTTP, HTML and UML Accompanying web site contains WebApp framework which can be downloaded and used to work through the example applications; plus, free, easily-accessible source code for use and development Three fully worked examples of how the framework can be used to develop a typical application e.g. browser, online shop, chat application Includes key chapters on SMI (Servlet Method Invocation) and the persistence framework About the authors: Peter Rossbach has 10 years’ practical experience in Object Oriented analysis, design and programming, most recently concentrating on using Java for web applications. He has led the development of a distributed content management system for commerce and banking which now supplies up-to-date information to more than 500 sites, and has recently founded his own company which creates products and projects for Java-based e-commerce solutions Hendrik Schreiber caught the Java bug 5 years ago and since then has worked as a contract developer on the development of Web applications and servers. His work involves the creation of the Java-based script language objectHTML and the servlet-enabled web server ‘Jo!’.
Customer Review: Very good book in designing Web application framework
It is always harder in designing an application than implementing it. Java Server & servlets concentrated on design issue while providing a basic introduction to Servlet programming. The first part of book explained some basic about HTTP, HTTP server and servlets and then layout a WebApp framework in its second part, the last part of book put the framework to real use.

This book is very helpful in learning good design technique like Interface-centric programming. It used UML to aid design process and demonstrating a good OO design principle.

This book is valuable in its solving practical problems, it is not a book for learning basic servlet programming, instead, it is a book for anyone wants to do complex servlet programming.

That is a good Web application framework, the area for improvement is in its configuration file, IMHO, it is better to use XML instead of its own format/syntax.

Overall, it is a useful book for experienced Java programmer.
Customer Review: Be aware that this is not a book for Beginners …
In the past 10 years I have been reading many dozen of technical computer-related books. I bought this book to learn about Servlets and despite the very-good customer reviews on the amazon.com, the book showed to me to be of not use. It is not as easy to follow – easy to implement code as it could be.

The book is NOT direct to beginners in Servlets and if your interest when buying such a book is to learn the basics of Servlet, you better off buying some other book on this topic. Buy Now!

This is a practical introduction to the fundamentals of .NET Web development for experienced programmers who are now learning .NET. Using rich code examples, this book covers the entire process of .NET Web development, and all the relevant technologies, from ASP.NET to XML. The authors offer a concise review of traditional Web development, then demonstrate the value .NET adds for those building advanced Web applications and services. After introducing .NET’s key languages, they present a straightforward migration path from current technologies to ASP.NET, ADO.NET and VB.NET. Coverage includes: .NET framework and architecture; the role of XML, SOAP, and UDDI in .NET development; new techniques such as object remoting; and interoperability with non-.NET systems. The book’s key concepts are tied together through a case study that is shared by other books in this .NET series from Object Innovations and Prentice Hall PTR — giving readers a jumpstart when they’re ready for other books in the series.
Customer Review: Terrific book
This book is proposed for the experienced programmers who are not necessarily familiar with .NET. The book introduces the fundamentals of Web technology in a straightforward and crisp way. This book is also perfect for programmers who have basic knowledge in programming languages such as Visual Basic, C/C++, Jscript and Java, who may or may not have Web programming experience.this book is clearly defined, in-depth, example-rich, provides a hands on guide to Fundamentals of Web Applications Using .NET and XML. Using real-world examples and a detailed case study, this book helps you master the Web Programming using .NET. Buy Now!
