Willing to learn JSP? Don't know where to start? Terrified by that big 500-pages JSP spec? Can't afford professional courses?
Don't know which JSP book to pick out because there are so many? If you are asking yourself any of the previous questions,
rush to your local store and buy this professional DVD today!! Neal Ford elegantly manages to ease your way through the maze
of JSP development by delving into the details of every single basic and advanced details about the JSP technology. Judge
by yourself: the author will tell you about the JSP/Servlet big picture, tomcat administration, all JSP elements, actions,
implicit objects and scriplets. Not enough? Well, he goes on with session management, database access, bean tags, expression
language, Model 2 pattern, JSTL, connection pooling, events and deployment issues.
More than 8 hours of high-quality authoritative JSP content presented in a virtual class style by a very knowledgeable professional
trainer switching back and forth between slide presentations, live code development in the Eclipse environment and execution
in a browser. What's more, for those 30 bucks you will spend, well actually invest, you get all the presentation slides as
well as all the code developed during this virtual class. The only drawback I can point out is the poor quality of the sound,
which costs this DVD his last horseshoe. No big deal though, but it could have been better mastered.

Beginners Java 2 v1.5 2004 on DVD

One of the things that I hadn't seen in the Java World was training videos, or in this case training DVDs. Not much difference
there, except you can cover a lot more than on a Video. The other thing I would like to see is an "Audio Book" that you can
hear while driving to work, so that you can learn Java there too. Maybe these guys will put one out.
Ok, now to the review. I found this DVD to be very informative, and covers many topics. The quality of the video and audio
remind of my AV days in High School, but heck you don't expect Visual Effects like today's Hollywood movies do ya? You can
get over the quality and enjoy learning Java. Overall this DVD covers all of Java, and not much about all the new features
in Java 5.0, although there is a chapter later that covers it. But this DVD shouldn't be about the new features, but about
teaching Java. This is where it make me wonder if a programming beginner watching this DVD will understand all that is being
said. There seems to be a "pre-requisite" knowledge before viewing.
Now, on the other side, I really did like the topics that were covered, and Neal pounds the point of following standards
in code and OO principles, that every developer needs to follow. I like the way that Neal presents and teaches, and would
recommend this DVD.

First off, this didn't work in my DVD player. I had to play it from the computer. Small bummer.
This was basically fourteen hours of staring at code already written in a NetBeans editor while a faceless (and somewhat monotone)
voice explained how the code works. The mouse pointer moves around or highlights some text to point out a particular area
of code, the lessons sometimes shift to JavaDoc or a diagram, and you see Paul's face while he gives the intro and summary
of each lesson??? but it wasn???t enough to keep me engaged.
Most if not all of the examples come from the book Java How to Program by Deitel and Associates, also around a hundred bucks.
Personally, I'd prefer the book. If I'm staring at a pre-existing code sample, it's easier to read on paper. This does come
with a small supplemental book with code samples but it's black and white, whereas the Java How to Program is in beautiful
color.
Overall, this LiveLessons DVD pack isn't horrible - I simply think the Deitel book is a better value and I can only recommend
this DVD product if you have two hundred dollars to spend and you wish to buy both the Java How to Program book and purchase
this LiveLessons as a supplemental to break up the pace of your reading (it's a big book).
