Approved Textbook List
When choosing a textbook(s) for a course, instructors are expected to first read
the course's "Course Guidelines" Web page. That tells the teacher what sort of
textbook to look for and whether two textbooks are necessary.
Normally, instructors should choose one book from a particular course's textbook list.
However, some courses require using more than one book.
If such a course has two (or possibly more) lists of books, instructors should choose
one book from each of the lists.
For each list, the home campus textbook selection(s) is listed first, and the books
are listed in descending order of preference (better choices at the top).

CS 322 - Web Programming II
Delay Action until Fall II 2008.
Teachers and students are encouraged to use Park's arrr server for JSP and kidd server for ASP.NET.
Park's arrr server has JSP 2.X installed on it. The Bai and Steelman books refer to JSP 1.X,
which is doable, but less than ideal.
The Bergsten, Chopra, and Metlapalli books refer to JSP 2.X. Bergsten and Chopra are reference books
(without exercises, of course), and so are less than ideal. Metlapalli is a textbook, but it has
not been published yet. It is scheduled to be published 9/1/07 and at that point, teachers should
consider using it for their spring 2008 classes.
