No Anil,
You will receive your books, keep pestering me and I'll keep on the publishers. This happens infrequently (weird that it happened with 2 books for you) But, I'll keep at for as long as it takes.

Hello Andy,
Thank you for taking the time to speak with us. Unfortunately, I was unable to locate a copy of the Index on Amazon. Through title assumption, I suspect this is a listing and detail of the libraries. In the topics, do you discuss the advantages of one tag vs. another (in the performance of similar situations)?

Your posting says Andy, but I think you might have meant me?
I think some of the links in the forums point to the wrong place, but the book is available on Amazon at the link below (in my signature).
Our book mostly discusses how to write custom tags. This includes tags that perform iteration, change their body, interact with a database, nested tags, tags that use J2EE and many more. During our discussion we talk about the merits of tag use and how they fit into a complete web application architecture.

You are correct. I did mean you, Adam. I appologize for being hurried and not addressing you correctly. I hope you will forgive my, unintentional, discourtesy.
Thank you for the link.

No problem at all
Seems to happen a lot, oddly. I guess Adam and Andy are easy names to mix up.
Thanks for the question and the interest in tags.

I'm interested in, just about, everything... pretty much, just like, everyone else here. As a novice web developer, the trouble often lies in deciding what technologies to learn and utilize first. I want to learn XML, JSP, Servlets... ad infinitum. However, I only have so much time to devote to learning new tools. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Suzanne

Adam:
You are right about this. Initially, (early yesterday) some
links were pointing to another book. But they have since
been corrected and verified. We apologise for the mistake on
our part .
Please post here or email anyone on the Bunkhouse team, if you
see anyother wrong links. We appreciate your help.
