Java Servlets

Servlets are a Java technology for dynamically generating HTML pages and other web-based content. The course will help make Java developers productive in Servlets, and will discuss where Servlets are and are not appropriate.

This is a one-day course, which can be presented in half-day increments. Much of the material will be presented with example code. Lab exercises are included.
