I decided to write Inside Servlets
when I was attempting to port a custom web application framework
written for the Netscape API (NSAPI) to the Servlet API. After scouring
local bookstores and the web, I realized that there were no servlet
books available. So why not be among the first to write one?
Unfortunately, two other authors beat me to market. Inside Servlets, published by Addison-Wesley, was released shortly after Java Servlets by Example from Manning Publications and Java Servlet Programming
from O'Reilly. Regardless, with interest in Java servlets just starting
to boom in 1999, third to market was close enough to sell a lot of
books (and the second edition did equally well). About the Book About the Author First Edition Second Edition Book Reviews Corrections |
