De la contraportada

Web development is more manageable than it seems, especially with the software tools freely available on the Web. After an introduction to the underlying behavior of the internet and of web applications, this book jumps to the good stuff so that students can start writing real applications.

This comprehensive Guide to Web Development with Java introduces the readers to the three-tiered, Model-View-Controller architecture by using Spring JPA, JSPs, and Spring MVC controllers. These three technologies use Java, so that a student with a background in programming will be able to master them with ease, with the end result of being able to create web applications that use MVC, validate user input,and save data to a database.

Topics and features:

• Presents web development topics in an accessible, easy-to-follow style, focusing on core information first, and allowing the reader to gain basic understanding before moving forwards
• Contains many helpful pedagogical tools for students and lecturers, such as questions and exercises at the end of each chapter, detailed illustrations, chapter summaries, and a glossary
• Uses existing powerful technologies that are freely available on the web to speed up web development, such as Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Spring JPA, Hibernate, JSP, JSTL, and Java 1.8
• Discusses HTML, HTML forms, and Cascading Style Sheets
• Starts with the simplest technology for web development (JSP) and gradually introduces the reader to more complex topics
• Introduces core technologies from the outset, such as the Model-View-Controller architecture
• Includes examples for accessing common web services
• Provides supplementary examples and tutorials at http://www.bytesizebook.com

Written for novice developers with a solid background in programming, but who do not have any database training, this thorough and easy-to-use textbook/guide provides will serve as an exemplary introductory course in web development for undergraduates, as well as web developers. With its straightforward and systematic style, this text is also ideal for self-study.
