Apache Struts is unbelievably popular in India and a large number of J2EE developers use the framework. For quite some time, version 1.1 was the Struts release being used and while other frameworks like WebWork and Spring are moving rapidly, Struts seemed to have stagnated a bit.

Finally the new version, version 1.2.2 has been released. A number of things seem to have changed. So do have a look at what the *NEW Struts offers as in all probability, your next web app will be using Struts.

J2SE 5.0 which was earlier named J2SE 1.5 and codenamed Tiger, now has a release candidate available. Now is a good time to start learning the new features of the version and to be prepared for the final release.

This book provides a comprehensive coverage of most if not all of J2EE components and is meant to be a one stop shop for J2EE. The India version of this book looks a little different however the contents are the same. I am one of the athors of the book and I am certain all J2EE enthusiasts will find the book useful.

IT is playing a major part in the Indian economy of today. Companies like Infosys, Wipro, TCS...are recruiting 1000's of new techies and are doing over billion dollars in sales. Things are looking good.
