Not really, I think TC 5 changed a whole lot from 4. Go with the O'Reilly one.

No need for a Tomcat book.  I've found the docs and list quite useful.
(If you can't learn from your own mistakes, learn from someone else's.)
Know the servlet spec, too.

Most books are obsolete by the time they hit the shelves.  How many
questions do we get from people, following examples in books, expecting
the Invoker Servlet in v5.x??

It's easier to find "timeless" wisdom for a language.  Bruce Eckel's
"Thinking In Java" is introductory-level without being condescending.

The best thing you can do is take Tomcat and Java, play with them, make
mistakes and fix them as you learn.

Re: java and tomcat books

2004-08-25 Thread Mike Fowler
Hi Didier,
Personally I quite like Tomcat: The Definitive Guide from O'Reilly 
(http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/tomcat/index.html), it covers version 4 
but it's still quite relevant for version 5.

As for Java books I'd recommend Java How To Program by Deitel & Deitel 
(http://www.deitel.com/books/jHTP6/) for good general coverage, and for 
detail both Java In A Nutshell 
(http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/javanut4/) and Java Enterprise In A 
Nutshell (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/jentnut2/).

MSN® Calendar keeps you organized and takes the effort out of scheduling 
get-togethers.
