Professional Java for Web Applications Challenge Set Includes Book and WROX Skills Challenge Powered by Innerworkings

Wrox and Innerworkings join forces to create a comprehensive learning package for professional Java programmers. The co-branded Wrox/Innerworkings Skills Challenge is a digital learning product that provides programmers with effective hands-on practice with real-time feedback that complements the deep learning provided by Wrox publications. Professional Java for Web Applications will be written in tandem with Innerworking's patented training modules, used by over 100,000+ developers.

Innerworkings modules will mirror the content and provide graded exercises that developers can work through until they get it right:

*Each lesson starts with a scenario that describes a software problem

*Next there's a challenge that is a list of specific items to be coded

*Patented "code judging" engine evaluates the code and gives a score and a chance to rework until it's correct

The package is ideal for software developers familiar with Java who have been asked to build enterprise Java applications or would like to expand capabilities in Java to cover enterprise Java applications and web applications. Readers need knowledge in Java Standard Edition, the Web, and basic knowledge in HTML, XML, JavaScript, Structured Query Language (SQL) and relational databases. The Java Skills Challenge will contain lessons that map to Professional Java for Web Applications -- each lesson typically requires 45-60 minutes to complete.
