Books & Reference Material

Hello All,
I'm moving into a position that requires me to work with S1. I have been
toying with S1, but now that I will be required to work with it in a
more day-to-day capacity, I am trying to get some opinions on good books
/ reference material.  

To date I have been using online resources to slowly learn S1, but now
that I need to ramp up at a more accelerated pace I wanted to see if
anyone had some recommendations on any good books on S1 or other
references that will help me get up to speed quickly?  

I am familiar with the challenges that an MVC framework like Struts is
designed to solve.  In light of this, I am not looking for a "dummies"
type learning tool, but more something that is geared toward developers
who understand the concepts, but perhaps not the nuts and bolts of
struts.

Any input?

Thanks,

Rich Kroll

Go for Struts 2, don't worry about Struts 1 too much. I'm allowed to say
this because I know we will be working together and we will be rewriting
everything on top of S2 very soon :)

He specifically asked for S1 books.

_Programming Struts_ and Struts in Action was my go-to
book for awhile, but they're a bit long-in-the-tooth;
lately I've just used online references.

Several people have told me that _Struts: The Complete
Reference_ 2e is their current fave. And it's
complete, says so right in the title. I believe it
covers 1.3 as well.

Hi Rich-

I havent seen any Struts2 books out yet (anyone?)
As a way to slowly introduce yourself to MVC you may want to consider 
'Struts in Action'

Kurniawan has a new Struts 1 book out now

and a Struts 2 book due out in the fall

AFAIK, the most up-to-date S1 book is still "Struts: The Complete Reference".
