New to Struts

[Nipun Bahr]

Hi Guys,

I am new to Struts framework and started learning basics of Struts. I want to know which version I should start practicing with i.e. struts 1 or struts 2?
Can you suggest a good learning resource to me?

[Ankit Garg]

You should definitely start with Struts 2. The StrutsFaq would be a good place to look for resources on learning Struts 2...

Thanks Ankit for quick reply.

Thanks Ankit, and the reason for not using Struts 1?

Thanks!

I suggest you to read some book about struts2, I was very satisfied with struts2 in action.

Best regards,

When I started, I wanted to learn from the tutorials online, but I did not understand much. Then a couple of books helped me. I started with struts1 and switched over to Struts2. I felt Struts2 is easier to learn than Struts1. Starting with Struts1 helps us to understand the flow of execution better. You can learn Struts2 without learning Struts1, but a brief introduction of Struts1 helps.

The books which helped me:-
Professional Jakarta Struts 1.1 by James Goodwill, Richard Hightower
Struts 2 Black Book
