RE: JSTL Book
Craig's recommendation notwithstanding, I think the best JSTL book on the market right now is David Geary's Core JSTL: Mastering the JSP Standard Tag Library, (Sun/Prentice-Hall 2003). It is a really good read and has plenty of concrete examples. And keep in mind that Craig doesn't always recommend the BEST book, but the book his friends have written.

Re: JSTL Book
Keep in mind that I only recommend books that Craig has already recommended. So, with that out of the way, I'd also recommend Shawn's book. One of the reasons I spent my money on it was that Shawn was very active on the taglibs-user list and it wasn't just to say, Hey, if you'd only buy my book, you'd have your answer. He obviously knew his stuff and gave generously of his time. One other thing to consider is that Manning offers PDF versions of many of their books for something like $25. I haven't looked at David's book yet (maybe after Craig says it's okay), so I can't say if I prefer one over the other. Craig R.

Re: JSTL Book
I enjoyed Shawn's book a great deal. The writing style makes the book fun to read, and it really is very well written, too. I learned a lot reading it. Disclaimers: 1) I did the tech proof of this book, so I had to read it in great detail, but it was still fun. ;-) 2) I haven't actually read any other JSTL books. (I haven't felt a need to.) -- Martin Cooper Mike Duffy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Does anyone have a recommendation for a good JSTL book? __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

Shawn and Hans are both nice guys and sharp as razors. I haven't read JSTL KickStart or Sue Spielman's book, which is coming out soon. If you want more information about Core JSTL, see www.core-jstl.com. If you're interested in JavaServer Faces, see www.corejsf.com. Core JSF is in the making! And keep in mind that Craig doesn't always recommend the BEST book, but the book his friends have written. I'd like to think Craig is my friend. 8-] david Mark -Original Message- From: Craig R.
