JSTL as a scripting language still suffers from the oververbose XML syntax in which its embedded, but the designers have used it to excellent advantage with EL, a sub-language for attributes. The combination seems as clean and tight as any scripting language on the planet, far better documented, and no harder to learn.

This project seeks to make the JSTL learning process simpler yet, by providing concrete training resources and working examples that show JSLT in action, but with a twist. Unlike the made-up examples in the books, these will be directly used at this web site, and will consist partly of helpful new on-line tools for creating and publically sharing JSLT scripts within any of its project areas.

There are several ways this can be done, and room for several people to get involved as an email-based design group. Email Dan to sign up, then take a lead in introducing your colleagues (and boss!) to the new Java niche for interactive web based UI.
