Hi,
why don't u do a simple project initially to get a feel of JSP ? I think an online shopping mall project is good one to start off. U can implement features like User regitration,user login,session handling,shopping cart etc. U'll learn how to use
JDBC also in the process. I tried the same thing intially though i used both
servlets and JSP. I tell u, it gave me a lot of satisfcation at the end of the day since i could learn HTML,JSP and Servlets in one project. Thats gonna give u good start.
Bye
