Maybe start with this (in order or better yet, read all of them simultaneously): Beginning JSP Web Development - to learn java and jsp Thinking in Java (Publisher: Prentice Hall?), Learning Java (Publisher: O'Reilly) - to learn the Java language Java Servlet Programming (Publisher: O'Reilly) - to learn the Servlet API Web Development with Java Server Pages (Publisher: Manning) - to learn Servlet API and JSP JSP Tag Libraries (Publisher: Manning) *Also, read up on database stuff - it's essential to doing any commercial site (e.g. www.postgresql.org). After you read all these (and have absorbed the materials) just pick up whatever books you need to fill in the gap. Code lots and ask questions on newsgroup and read articles on site such as java.sun.com and www.javaworld.com. You should be able to get up to speed fairly fast. No rocket science really. - boon -----Original Message----- From: reshma deshpande [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 1:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: some help ... Hi! I have a little question, if you could please answer it... I am pretty new to the Java environment (just have read some tutorials on Java, JSP etc) but dont have much of a real-time coding experience. I have got a job, and I would soon be working on Struts. Before I start working on it, I would like to utilize my time well in learning what would be most useful for me, from the point of view of starting with Struts and being comfortable in the same, as soon as possible. I have around 15-20 days for that. Could you please suggest what I should start with, and also a few tutorials and books. (in short, could you please tell me what I should study for the next 15-20 days and from where) that would help me the most for starting off comfortably with Struts.. Not many people know about Struts (infact, as of now I too dont :) and hence I am pretty much lost and confused with what & how to study... Any help from you would be greatly appreciated !! Thanks!
