So here is my first summery on the Head First Servlet & JSP. It is a very nice book in fact and much easier to memorize as the book instruction explained. But it is not easy to find the particular topics and specific details because they are distributed through out various chapters. I guess the authors have decided that way to make relevance with other chapters or for the repetition purpose.

So I started write down on paper what I think the most important keywords are and then decided to write a blog entry so I can search the content whenever I need to look up.

The first Three chapters are basically some introduction on how HTTP and Web is working. I believe they are basic and not worth to include here.

WARNING: This cram sheets are only for the quick review of what you already should know. You should first buy the book and read it if you do not have enough experience or knowledge.

Chapter 1 ~ Chapter 3 are basic concept.

SCWCD stands for Sun Certified Web Component Developer. I was eager to get this certification before but did not have enough time to study for it.

Now that my wife and children are visiting their grand parents, I decided to work on this cert.

Wish me luck.
