The spec is actually pretty striaghtforward to read. If you insist reading books other than the spec, I would recommend Sun's Core JSTL, Core JSF or Manning's JSTL in Action.

It's about as good of a book as I've seen on any technical subject matter, particularly for a beginner. I still reference it after several years. For JSF I have both the O'Reilly book and the Core JSF books. I wouldn't say one is particularly better than the other, but both need a working knowledge of underlying technologies to make total sense. I have the first editions of them both though, so they are a bit behind the game on the latest and I believe second editions on each are available. I also suggest going here http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=427 it's the official JSF forum, you'll get lots of information from it.

These will be for a person with a novice-level understanding of Java and Tomcat, so I'd like something that will take him from beginner to intermediate (or better). He'll be learning Java at the same time. > > Any suggestions you have are appreciated. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] !DSPAM:42fb7c8152591501418128!
