Beginning JSP™, JSF™ and Tomcat™ Web Development: From Novice to Professional

Description

Well after reviewing almost every book online and reading the reviews, I thought this Apress book and another on JPA would help me get over the issues I was having trying to incorporate a real world database driven JSP/JSF application. Unfortunately, the book's author simply does not present a start to finish encapsulation of a real business world application. Coming from a .Net background - I find the steps involved in just trying to build the foundation of the application's package to simply create a usable database driven front-end is like purchasing a car in a kit and trying to put it together so you can drive it. The pieces are all there, but the instruction manuals are spotty and don't always compliment one another. If there is an author out there that knows how their stuff, I'd love to work with them to explain how to write a book that will actually help people..I'm sure there are a lot of people out there in the same boat. Good luck, perhaps you can grasp the concepts better than I can - just felt it got me to a point, but crucial pieces were missing. It's not a bad book, I'm probably just a little too green yet to put it all together.
