What You Will Learn
- The fundamental role of servlets in handling client requests and generating dynamic responses.
- How JSP (JavaServer Pages) complements servlets to separate business logic from presentation.
- Key differences between static HTML pages and dynamically generated content.
- Techniques for connecting your web apps to databases using JDBC.

You’ll also get a sneak peek at actual servlet codeno more magic black boxes! The book explains how to read user data from forms, handle implicit HTTP request information, talk to databases, and send back polished HTML (or even images). Wondering why you’d ever need to generate pages dynamically instead of just serving static files? The authors break down use-cases like search engines, order confirmations, news updates, or any site where content changes per user or over time.
If you’re exploring other server-side frameworks too, you might find it interesting to compare these concepts with what’s covered in The Little ASP.NET Core Book. Or if you’re curious about deploying modern applications using containers, check out Using .NET Core, Docker, and Kubernetes Succinctly.
