Re: Any good book/website with samples how to run Java in web applications?

Most of the books out there are just too slow and dwell too much on
syntax. I have an extensive software development experience in C and
other languages, also I am an impatient type who wants to see the big
picture from the start. Hence I need to set up the whole development
environment and play with simple demos that show all the concepts
used in a web development.
To me that sounds a bit contradictory: a big picture for me is a high
level overview where I can see all parts - just very abstract. A live
demo may also show a complete application but you will see a lot of details.
Reading some Java code samples detached from a quick hands-on
playground is just not for me. I never learned much this way in the
past. Most of the books include Java samples about theory like sort
this or that, print this or that, etc. I need all concepts used in a
web design.
Really all? Besides the already mentioned JEE technologies that would
also include CSS, JavaScript, potentially a UI framework like AngularJS
or ExtJS, XPath, knowledge about HTTP(S), maybe even load balancing and
proxies. The landscape is quite huge.
The key question is: what is your goal, i.e. what do you want to do with
the knowledge you gain?
I just came across one book "Professional Java for Web Applications"
that has many of the things I am looking for, like it provides demos
for each chapter and the names of free software used to run them. But
there are many holes in the explanations that will probably lead me
into wasting a lot of time when I try to test them out.
Another way to waste time would be to search for the perfect book... ;-)
