review
________

It is another good book from head first series, this is very much useful foe the people who are targeting SCWCD1.4.book is well organized and brain-friendly study guide in authors words.
as the book's main target is SCWCD1.4 it does not tell you how to deploy servlets and jsp files with a specific server.
for the beginners it tells from the beginning and for the advanced it covers all in depth details of servlets and JSP.
It is better to read it from the beginning even though we have some servlet and JSP knowledge.
many readers told that who reads and practices examples given back on the chapter,can easily score 90 plus score.
in the appendix good mock exam is given.many concepts are explained with good diagrams so that we can easily understand them.
