Description

JSP technology enables Web designers to include Java programs in their web pages and inter-mix them with HTML. Using JSP, developers can access other Java objects, making it ideal for creating dynamic content for web pages. ASP is Microsoft's solution for server side scripting. While at high level they both accomplish similar functionalities, each uses totally different technologies.

This course aims to teach ASP programmers the full set of JSP techniques. It makes frequent references to corresponding ASP concepts so ASP programmers can quickly relate JSP concepts to their familiar ASP concepts. Since Java experience is not required for this course, students will first be taught the basics of Java programming and JavaBeans technology. Using numerous examples and exercises, students will be quickly brought up to speed to a level where they will feel comfortable with non-GUI Java programming. On completion, attendees will be able to:

• Generate dynamic web pages using JSP technology
• Embed Java Programs in HTML
• Create JSP tags and scriptlets
• Build thin web browser based clients using JSP
• Deploy JSP pages on a servlet engine or an application server

This course is designed for ASP developers who have no Java experience. Those who have Java and JavaBeans experience should take the Rapid JavaServer Pages (JSP) for ASP Programmers course instead.
