This book for software developers focuses on building
a specific application using XML, XSLT, Java and JSP.
The book contains a case study which shows how
the book's authors developed a chat application
using several web technologies. Each step of the development
is covered in detail, and the complete source code for the
chat application is provided. The tools used in the book can
be found free online and are also included in the companion
CD-ROM.
The book provides a great look at how a specific set
of problems are solved by programmers, which can be of help to
web developers that find themselves in a similar situation.
The book would be very useful for a developer
looking to create a chat environment online
using these technologies. However, for beginners and experts
looking for comprehensive instruction on XML, XSLT, Java
and JSP, the material is too focused on a developing a specific
application to be of value.
XML, XSLT, Java and JSP is available for purchase on
Amazon.com
