Series
A hands-on tutorial in Tsinghua University Press's Complete Study Guide series, aimed at newcomers to Java Web. Written by Yang Guang and Wu Zhengyun and published in July 2014, the book has 15 chapters. It starts with environment setup and layered design, then works through the foundations and core techniques of Java Web development layer by layer: HTML and CSS basics (including what HTML5 adds), JavaScript fundamentals (data types, control flow, functions, event handling, DOM, and exception handling), JSP syntax and implicit objects, JavaBeans and JSP standard actions, the standard tag library, JDBC database connections and connection pools, how Servlets run, their lifecycle, filters and listeners, AJAX asynchronous communication, and the Struts 2 framework—configuration, OGNL expressions, tag libraries, interceptors, and data validation. Beyond mainstream technologies, the book devotes separate coverage to three areas beginners often overlook: website security (URL manipulation attacks, cross-site scripting, SQL injection), Log4j log management, and JUnit unit testing. The final two chapters tie the earlier material together in two comprehensive projects—a simple dating system and an e-commerce system—for project-level practice. At roughly 431 pages, with sample code for every concept and an accompanying disc containing the main code and case-study video demonstrations, the book serves both as a self-study guide for Java Web enthusiasts and as a practical textbook for university courses.

Summary

This book has a clear purpose: to help people who can already write Java but have no idea how a web page and a server-side program actually run, closing the last gap between syntax and a working project. Its structure is the classic knowledge-point-plus-small-example format, with runnable code right after each concept, so readers don't have to wait until the end of a chapter for feedback—especially friendly for self-learners. Notably, its coverage doesn't stop at JSP and Servlets. Struts 2, AJAX, Log4j, JUnit, and website security (cross-site scripting, SQL injection) are all included—topics often omitted from beginner books a decade ago, yet exactly the divide between "it runs" and "it's usable." The final two comprehensive cases—a simple dating system and an e-commerce system—string the scattered chapters into a complete development chain, letting readers see through the cases how layering, request flow, and database interaction work together. One caveat: the book was published in 2014, and its tech stack stays in the JSP/Servlet/Struts 2 era. Its value lies in helping you thoroughly grasp the fundamentals of web development, not in teaching current mainstream frameworks. Treat it as a textbook for understanding the main line of "a request from browser to database and back," and you'll get the most out of it.

Editor's review

这本书的定位很清晰:给「已经会写Java,但不知道网页和服务器端程序怎么跑起来」的人补上从语法到项目的最后一段路。它的编排是典型的知识点加小例子结构,每个概念后面紧跟一段可运行的代码,读者不必等到读完一章才有反馈,这对自学者尤其友好。 值得一提的是它的覆盖面没有止步于JSP与Servlet。Struts 2、AJAX、Log4j、JUnit 以及网站安全(跨站脚本、SQL注入)都被纳入进来,这几块内容在十年前的入门书里常被省略,却恰恰是从「能跑」走向「能用」的分水岭。最后两个综合案例——简易交友系统与电子商务系统——把散落的章节串成一条完整的开发链路,读者可以沿着案例理解分层、请求流转与数据库交互如何配合。 需要提醒的是,本书出版于2014年,技术栈停留在JSP/Servlet/Struts 2时代。它的价值在于帮你把Web开发的基本原理吃透,而非教你当下主流框架的用法。把它当作理解「请求从浏览器到数据库再回来」这条主线的教科书,收获会最大。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 有Java语法基础、想系统入门的Web开发初学者
  • 在校学生,需要一本配套课程与实验的教材
  • 自学者,希望通过完整案例理解Web项目分层与请求流程
  • 想补上JSP、Servlet、JDBC等传统技术原理的开发者

Not a good fit for

  • 完全没有Java基础、零编程经验的读者
  • 希望学习Spring Boot、Spring MVC等现代框架的开发者
  • 寻找2014年以后新技术栈(如前后端分离)内容的读者

Reading tips

  1. 先把Java基础与面向对象部分补齐,本书默认读者已能独立编写简单Java类
  2. 按章节顺序边读边敲代码,每章示例务必在本机跑通再进入下一章
  3. 第14、15章的案例建议先自己设计再对照源码,重点体会分层与请求流转
  4. 遇到Struts 2、AJAX等内容时,可同步检索较新资料了解技术的后续演进

FAQ

这本书需要什么前置基础?
作者明确说明面向Java Web初学者,但要求读者具备一定的Java基础,例如能编写类、理解面向对象与基本集合用法。完全没有编程经验的人建议先学Java语法。
书中的技术栈现在还能用吗?
本书2014年出版,主线是JSP、Servlet、JDBC与Struts 2,属于传统Java Web技术。这些技术在企业遗留系统中仍可见,但新项目多已转向Spring生态,建议把本书当作理解原理的入门读物。
是否包含完整项目案例?
包含。第14章为简易交友系统,第15章为电子商务系统,两个案例综合运用了前面各章讲述的JSP、Servlet、JDBC、AJAX等技术。
随书光盘里有什么内容?
根据出版信息,光盘收录了书中涉及的主要代码以及主要案例的视频演示,便于读者对照学习。

He has also ventured into industrial technology with works like Key Technologies and Design of 5G High-Frequency Systems, and has taken part in compiling traditional medical literature such as Research on Jianchang Bang Medicine. His works fall under world history, social culture, history reading, popular science, and industrial technology, reflecting a broad intellectual range and an approach that balances scholarship with readability.
