As others have mentioned this is one of the best written books on programming/frameworks that I have read bar maybe Agile Web Development on Rails. I am a relative Java newbie and this has book has successfully got me up and running on 2 new projects using stripes. I will continue to use stripes and this book as reference for time to come. Thanks Freddy for your belief in this framework and your efforts to make its ease of use well known.

Unfortunately for other authors, there doesn't need to be another Stripes book written because this one covers it all. Not only does it lead you through a great example application, but the chapters are split into sections that allow the book to also be a great reference. The book is well written, and the additional "Tim says..." and "Joe asks..." inserts are extremely helpful.
The Stripes framework is a powerful, yet easy to learn framework that puts Struts to shame.
Get the book, learn the framework and be a happier developer.

Really good book. Great place to start learning Stripes. To the point, with information from the creator of Stripes. Probably the best framework-specific book I've ever read.

At 380 pages this is the thinnest technical book in my book shelve but yet it covers everything I need to know to develop a web application - from "Hello World" to ajax, security, cross sites scripting attack, unit testing ...
I was pleasantly surprised by how comprehensive this book is. I learned a great deal from this book. I am especially appreciative of the section on security. I learned a great deal seeing how the many well though out features of Stripes being put together to produce a secured wed application. This section alone is worth the price of the book.
A superb framework and an equally superb book. Stripes is my favorite web framework, and this is one of the few technical book that I enjoyed reading and owning.

I received this book few days before Christmas, and I'm now really impressed: in few weeks, following this beautiful manual, I got all the necessary information and skills I need to start using the Stripes Framework for my own projects!
I successfully implemented also the Stripersist library and Hibernate, and everything is working fine from the beginning.
Stripes is a recent tool, but we are lucky because the official website is rich of useful information and the documentation is very accurate; we are lucky because Stripes is very powerful but also extremely simple, and Frederic Daoud did a fantastic work writing this book!
It's very well organized, introducing components and arguments of the framework in a logic and developer-friendly way.
Chapters on Layout Reuse, Custom Messages and Persistance are absolutely stunning, definitively one of the best tecnical book I have read in the last year!
On the Pragmatic Programmer's web site you can find the zipped source code with all the book's examples: it's useful to keep everything under control, looking at the entire class code, following the changes introduced in the book.
