Avijit, thank you. I will look at those links that you have posted (I am also doing the Sun JDBC tutorial). I am looking for a hard copy so that when I�m traveling I would have something to read at the airport and on the plane. Also, the boss is paying for the book
.
I wanted to ask here at the ranch because, well, it's simply the best place on the internet to find out about java stuff (IMHO). Java ranch is where I found out about the Head First series of books - which are the best books I've ever read for teaching anything. I highly recommend them for anyone who needs to learn Servlets/JSP, Java, Design
Patterns... They don't seem to me as if they are meant for reference manuals, but for teaching, I haven�t found better.
