This is a very good tutorial. I usually use web resources to learn new computer languages and platforms, but I can't find any good web tutorials for J2EE (now JEE) . I thought I would get a book at the library, because they were sure to be more up to date on computer books than I could be myself. Unfortunately, I was incorrect about that. This book is hopelessly out of date, and J2EE (JEE) has changed quite a bit. I do not know if there is a newer edition. Skokie library does not have a newer edition, in any case.
