I wanted to make Java applications talk to humans - through their browsers, PDAs and other client software - and <cite>Java and XSLT</cite> really showed me how to do it. It's easy to understand, even for a Java novice, and well laid out... you will learn a lot from this book.
Using XSLT and Servlets also solves the age-old browser-compatibility problem in a simple and effective way, and Chapters 8 and 10 give a good pointer towards this - though a specific example servlet to do it would be nice, maybe that would be taking the fun out of learning and experiementing!
