Jakarta Struts is the most popular and powerful framework for developing JSP applications. In this Struts training class, experienced Java developers learn how to use Struts and the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern to build scalable, maintainable data-driven Web applications.


Prerequisites

All attendees must have attended WTEC’s Web Application Development with JSP & Servlet, or have equivalent real-world experience.


Hands-on/Lecture Ratio

This class is 70% hands-on, 30% lecture, with the longest lecture segments lasting for 20 minutes.
