I am not a JSP guru but I do agree with you. I have studied JAVA and Object Oriented Programming for 18 months and have just begun to look at JSP. In my opinion if I didn't have this background I would be struggling to have any understanding of what is going on.
Once you gain an ounce of understranding of JAVA and JSP beyond the programming language aspect, it bites you and your addicted. The technology grows on you and then you in turn grow with it. And once you understand JAVA and JSP, your ASP skills do gain another dimension and you gain what you missed the first time on your first pass - My Experience. Theo Starr Asset Information System Specialist Integral Energy Huntingwood [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 30/10/2001 8:01:01 >>> >> Does anyone know about a tutorial for a beginner of JSP, but has several years of experience of ASP and VBScript dev. << Hi Henke- This is probably not what you want to hear, but I've always felt the best way to learn JSP is to learn Java first and try to forget what you know from your ASP days. Once you understand OO concepts and how they work in Java, and how to write Java servlets, JSP becomes a very natural extension to what you already know. In contrast, trying to write JSP as if it is ASP will just lead you to very bad habits, such as embedding business logic and SQL code in the JSP rather than abstracting them away. So if you can afford to, I recommend that you at least start by learning how to write basic Java classes, and then servlets, and then JSP. Even better, read up on the J2EE framework and how all the pieces fit together--that will give you an idea of why it's bad to write JSP-heavy applications. The learning curve may be steeper but it's worth it. Any JSP gurus out there with a different viewpoint? -jmc =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
