Java Servlet Programming

If you do not understand servlets and program in Java this book is for you. I found it very easy to read and comprehend right off the bat.

This is definitely the book you gotta have if you write Java servlets. At the former application server I was at until recently, it was basically a must buy for everyone in the professional services wing of the company.

I have read this book while developing a web-based tool using JAVA servlets. This book explains everything needed to develop servlets including database access and connection pooling.
