Abstract
Web development is still one of today’s most popular, active, and important programming and development activities. From a single web page to an e-commerce-enabled web site to a fully-fledged web application, the Java programming language and its frameworks allow you great flexibility and productivity for your web application development. Learn Java for Web Development teaches web developers who are new to Java key skills, Java-based languages, and frameworks to build simple or complex web sites and applications. As soon as you pick up this book, Vishal Layka’s experience guides you on a very practical learning and building journey. You will learn the Java nuts and bolts necessary to build a simple “HelloWorld” application, as well as a “HelloWorld” Java-based web application using servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSPs). Using a real-word case study (a bookstore e-commerce application), you next will learn more about servlets and JSPs, add JavaServer Faces (JSFs), and explore the JSP and JSF expression languages. Then you’ll build your web application using Apache Struts2 and the Spring MVC framework. The book concludes by examining industry best practices and how these might fit with your bookstore web application, as well as covering alternative Java Web frameworks like Groovy/Grails and Scala/Play 2. You also can explore the basics of Java, Groovy, and Scala in the book’s appendices. With Learn Java for Web Development, you will see all these key technologies in action and form a solid foundation for web development with Java and Java-based technologies.
