Servlets and JSPs Tutorial: Learn Web Applications With Java (Udemy.com)

John tends to skip around, sometimes from page to page, sometimes renaming variables and this makes it hard to follow. He needs to write a script and follow it. He sometimes forgets to tell you that he created a new project for the new topics he's covering, and this can be confusing at times. He also tends to overemphasize some trivial details at times, but fails to explain the details of more complex concepts.

This is the best tutorial for JSP/Servlet, you can purchase it without any doubt. I was able to follow every single lecture/video. I have recently finished Core java and was looking to understand JSP/Servlet. But I was not able to understand from any book or tutorial as they are very confusing. You will understand how to work with JSP, servlet, Servlet Controller, beans, how to manage cookies, how to connect to the database, JSTL section is very interesting and useful. There is only one con about this course, I wish john has code exercises for practice. However you wouldn't complain as you will build entire image rating project. Thanks a lot again for wonderful course.

Slow but thorough, very good resource. While I have some experience with Android, Spark, and a little Spring, I found this to be very helpful in my understanding of what Java servlets, beans, and JSP's are doing without any overarching framework. I liked the mySQL exercises and the JSTL was super helpful, something I'll probably start using in more of my Java projects. Thank you.

This course is excellent for those who know core java programming and are looking to learn to build web applications in java. The course is slow-paced and spontaneous which in my opinion is very good for learners. This allows beginners to get a grasp of the thought process behind how experienced developers like John do coding. Tip: There is no exercise for this course. However, you will get the most out of it if you try solving problems on your own before you watch and see how the instructor does it.

So far so good. I'm from a mainframe background and trying to get to grips with web technology so quite a big leap. John keeps the video tutorials straight to the point. The tutorials do not necessarily explore each subject in great depth but enough to get to grips with the fundamental concepts. The students can then dig a bit deeper if they wish to do so, via some complementary methods (like books maybe). The videos are absolutely fine for my level and needs so far and find them of great benefit.

Teaching assistance can't answer a basic question

Very good course. Like others are saying, we are indeed in 2016 now, so there are some minimal things that will be different when following along. Nonetheless, this course still provides a great amount of value to understanding Servlets & JSPs (at least from what I've gone through so far). I am using it to supplement some book learning that I am going through, and it makes understanding everything that I am being taught very simple. So despite the subtle outdated differences, the information is still really, really helpful and very easy to follow.

Very nice course definitely worth ;) I know core Java very well included swing/awt and jdbc so I've decided to go one step higher and start to learn skills which are required in companies... I take a look at Spring but it was said it's nice to have some background about Servlets JSP and JSTL. I took this course and it's definetly help me a lot. It's a lot more confortable to watch videos and follow instructor than read some stuff on the internet / book... Beginning of the course can be a little bit confusing (especially if you have no web development background) but as soon as you gain enough basic knowledge you can easily put them together and build more complex programs to see how it works in depth... I really enjoy database and JSTL chapters. In JSTL chapter you will put all your knowledge together and built simple working web site which is pretty cool. At the beginning I didn't know anything about JSP, Servlets or JSTL. As I finished this course I feel more comfotable and I think I understand the most important stuff. I know what is a servlet how it works. I know how to connect to a database how to create web site using MVC architecture and I am pretty familiar with JSTL which I am going to use in Spring as well :) Thank you for this amazing course looking forward spring

I would recommend this to everyone who want to get into java web development.John was a great teacher and most of the times straightforward but still not going to fast. I'm looking forward to johns spring tutorial. I gave only 4 start because sometimes john skips some code we seen earlier. And it would be easier if the scours code would be available that is not yet completed at the beginning of these lessons.

This stuff is gold. The core technology is touched upon at just the right amount and the course ends leaving the user with the basic knowledge required to go away and really become a skilled back-end web programmer. I think John should reiterate at the end of the course the necessity to go away and do all of this stuff yourself, use the available documentation online and expand on the core techniques introduced here to really step up to a professional level.

I think at the end of each chapter there should be one more chapter that summarize the whole chapter. Sometimes you just want to revise what you have already studied and its not possible to check every chapter. Also we can have some quiz and multiple choice question at the end of every chapter.

Another strong course from Mr. Purcell. The hands on approach to presenting the material makes it very clear what needs to be done.
