What about the SCWCD? Will they be feel like a breeze to study JSF? But SCWCD does not cover web applications frameworks like Struts... How do u think about that?
I also have started to learn JSF... Since your book is also intended to JSF beginner, it would be great for me as well...
Ko Ko,
I haven't taken the SCWCD exam, so I can only speculate. I would think that familiarity with some sort of framework would help, but I don't think it's necessarily required, as long as you understand servlets and JSP.
The biggest shift for a lot of developers is the fact that JSF is event-oriented, as opposed to request/response oriented like HTTP. If you've worked with Swing, Delphi, VB, or .NET,
you should be familar with event-driven programming. If not, it may take a little bit of work to understand. The book, however, spends some time explaining how event-driven programming works.
