As a JSP developer, you are probably always looking for ways to improve your JSP page
authoring. The JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL) will provide you with a plethora of useful
actions that you can start taking advantage of today. It will allow you to focus on the true
presentation features of your pages, while providing a comprehensive cover for common
tasks that page authors continually run into. My goal in writing this book is to get you up
to speed as quickly as possible on all that is available in the JSTL and how to apply that
knowledge to your daily page authoring. You'll be amazed at how much cleaner your pages
will appear and how much better you'll feel about them. Just like when you finally clean
out of your closet the 10-year-old t-shirts that you thought you couldn't live without.
