Re: JSP newbie kick start

[Greg Philpott]

If you know ASP and ColdFusion, then learning JSP will be a breeze - What you need to do first though is get started with learning Java (without the Enterprise API's for the moment).  I recommend the following for a solid foundation:   1.  visit www.javaranch.com to particaipate in the forums and browse their resources and the Java tutorial at www.java.sun.com 2. get a good book. Just Java 2 by peter van der linden would be my recommendation. 3. think about getting certified as a Sun Java Programmer.   RE: Wrox books - I'd steer clear of them unless they have less than 3 authors.   Regards, Greg. -these are my personal opinions- -----Original Message----- From: Jason Cochran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Saturday, October 20, 2001 10:40 PM Subject: JSP newbie kick start I am interested in getting started in java and jsp. I am a web developer that has experience in scripting languages such as PHP, ASP and ColdFusion. Could you give me some insight into what I should start reading/studying? Which books? Which websites/mailing lists? Any help would be appreciated. ================================ Jason Cochran GeeWilikers.com Website Design, Hosting, and Consulting   Email:  [EMAIL PROTECTED] Online: http://www.geewilikers.com Phone: (915)-683-8051 Cell:     (915)-638-4099 ================================ _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
