I have been teaching web development for ten years. I started with Perl. I can still remember the behemoth programs that contained all the logic and HTML. I remember using a text editor to write the program. Debugging consisted of a lot of print statements. It was a fun time, full of exploration, but I do not miss them. Five years ago, I made the move to Java and Java servlets. Life became much simpler with the use of NetBeans. It has been a critical component in developing Web applications using Java. Debugging a web application in NetBeans is just as easy as debugging any Java application. This book is meant for students who have a solid background in programming, but who do not have any database training. Until two years ago, my students used a glori? ed HashMap to save data. Then a former student gave me the word: Hibernate. For anyone with a p- gramming background in Java, using Hibernate to save data to a re- tional database is a simple task. I have always been a proponent of automating the common tasks that Web applications perform. There are many packages that can s- plify the job of a Web developer: Log4j, BeanUtils and Hibernate. I have created additional classes that can automate additional tasks.

Riassunto
This book breaks from the tradition of teaching a history of web development and jumps to the good stuff from the outset so that students can start writing real applications. It introduces readers to a 3-tiered, Model-View-Controller architecture by using Hibernate, JSPs, and Java Servlets. These three technologies all use Java; a student with a good background in programming will be able to master them. Java Server Pages are HTML pages that include data references in them. Java Servlets contain the business logic. Hibernate handles the data. This book uses existing powerful technologies such as JSP, JavaBeans, Annotations, JSTL, Java 1.5, Hibernate, Apache Velocity and Tomcat. It also presents Model 1 architectures using Servlets and JSP as alternatives to Perl and PHP. Written for novice developers, this book provides an introductory course in web development for undergraduates as well as web developers.
Testo aggiuntivo
From the reviews:
"Downey summarizes ... clearly and succinctly, the focus of the book: Java servlets that use JavaServer Pages (JSP) and connect to a MySQL database using the Hibernate framework. The book covers precisely what the title says. ... At the end of the book, there is a one-page glossary of terms; a one-page list of additional resources, books, and Web sites; and a detailed eight-page index ... . In conclusion, I strongly recommend this book to readers who are interested in developing component-based systems ... ." (M. M. Tanik, Computing Reviews, December, 2008)
