| 1250 pages. This is a great doorstop of a book. It has a few chapters on client-server programming in Java, and a section of that is on CGI. I have looked at hundreds of Java books and found nothing that deals in depth with client side Java talking to CGI, except Marty's book. It is really very simple and he does an excellent job of explaining it. Marty has posted all the source code examples from the book for anyone to use. These contain updates and errata fixes you don't get on the CD-ROM that comes with the book. |

pretty well the only book on using CGI and client-side Java together. He is
probably the clearest writer on Java. Marty has posted all the source
code examples from the book for anyone to use. These contain updates and
errata fixes you don't get on the CD-ROM that comes with the book. Marty also
maintains a set of Links to Java
