Hi Chuck, This sounds like it has the potential to be a very good book. I'm looking forward to it and would like to here more as you develop your material.
Mike -----Original Message----- From: Chuck Cavaness [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2002 1:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OReilly Struts book I just wanted to let everyone know that I just signed a contract to write a book on Struts for O'Reilly. The book just got underway, so it will not be out until the late summer or early fall. I've included a rough working outline here, but realize that it's a work in progress and I will continue to flush out the details over the coming days. If you have any suggestions for things to add, please feel free to send them to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so as to not flood the newsgroups. I've used Struts since the beginning and watched it evolve into a the great framework that it is today and for sure will be when all of the 1.1 functionality gets rolled in. I intend to cover both 1.0 and 1.1 functionality, although I haven't figured out the cleanest way to handle the envoling functionltiy. I've started a dialog with Ted and he's given me some good ideas. I just finished co-authoring "Special Edition EJB 2.0" and "Special Edition Using Java 2" and I'm planning on the book having a heavy focus on EJB and J2EE, since that is my current use of the framework. The working outline follows... Chuck O'Reilly Struts Working Outline Chapter 1. Introduction to Struts Brief History of the Web What are Servlets?
