Hi everybody. Thanks for the welcome!
Rajat, this book covers much of the same material as the previous edition. Of course, it has been updated to use all the latest versions of NetBeans,
Tomcat, MySQL, etc. Also, we restructured it to present the MVC
pattern earlier. This allowed us to present "best practices" first instead of teaching outdated practices first and then showing how to fix them later.
However, we did add some new material to this book. In particular, this book now shows how to use JPA, which is a newer way to work with databases than
JDBC that has many advantages over JDBC. Also, this book now presents an introduction to
JSF, just to give you an idea of the similarities and differences between the JSF approach and the servlet/JSP approach.
I look forward to answering some questions and talking with you all about servlet/JSP programming and this book. Thanks again!
