Description
This is the book for teaching Java programming and web work to ColdFusion developers. Because it builds on what they already know, and contextualizes Java against the ColdFusion language, this book gives them just what they need to understand Java technology, install and run a Java web server, write Java applications, and build and deploy JSPs.
