About the Book: Struts 2 For Beginners: 3rd Edition (Book/CD-Rom)

Designed for beginners and intermediate developers, this book helps you come up to speed as quickly as possible with using Struts 2 framework. It delves deeply into the core of Struts 2 framework, providing a sound understanding of the components that make up the framework and the way they interact with each other.

This book uses an application-centric approach. The development of an application drives Struts 2 exposure and not the other way around. An application is defined which is built throughout the book. Most if not all of the code spec and snippets that you will find in this book are a part of the application.

Finally, two web based projects are developed to re-enforce all the learning that took place throughout the book. This will definitely help developers to quickly get started with building real-world Web applications using the Struts 2.x.x framework.
