I did order the same book :-( thanks for the link .. i'll read it :-) Melanie Harris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: If the Struts book you ordered from Amazon is 'Struts Fast Track', I'd suggest cancelling your order. Not very good. However, a new Struts book is being written and published by O'Riley that sounds good. You can download chapters 1-4 from: http://www.theserverside.com/resources/strutsreview.jsp
Also, Wrox press, JSP 2ND edition has a chapter that covers STruts. Finally, look at these: http://www.husted.com/struts/ http://rzserv2.fhnon.de/~lg002556/struts/#pi2 Good Luck, -mel h reshma deshpande wrote: thanks a lot everybody :-) could you also tell me , what kind of a working knowledge do i need to have for Java, Servlets, JSP in order to get started with struts ..

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.

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!
