Web Development with Java : Using Hibernate, JSPs and Servlets PDF

I have been teaching web development for ten years.

I started with Perl. I can still remember the behemoth programs that contained all the logic and HTML.

I remember using a text editor to write the program.

Debugging consisted of a lot of print statements. It was a fun time, full of exploration, but I do not miss them.

Five years ago, I made the move to Java and Java servlets.

Life became much simpler with the use of NetBeans. It has been a critical component in developing Web applications using Java.

Debugging a web application in NetBeans is just as easy as debugging any Java application.

This book is meant for students who have a solid background in programming, but who do not have any database training.

Until two years ago, my students used a glori? ed HashMap to save data. Then a former student gave me the word: Hibernate. For anyone with a p- gramming background in Java, using Hibernate to save data to a re- tional database is a simple task.

I have always been a proponent of automating the common tasks that Web applications perform.

There are many packages that can s- plify the job of a Web developer: Log4j, BeanUtils and Hibernate.

I have created additional classes that can automate additional tasks.
