Java Server Pages really worth it?

Whats it worth? I already know Java, that was pretty easy :/.

Do you know Java or JavaScript?
They are different things.

Duh. Where are you getting this? I konw Java, AND Javascript. I just want to know about JSP

I have tinkered with it a few times... it just seems like a pain, but just recently all of their docs and such have gotten much better and they've opened a lot of code up to the community (finally..).
I definitely would like to familiarize myself with it in the near future, there is money to be made with Java/JSP last I knew.

thanks. whats the comparison with it and php, I mean, I love php, no doubt, but is it better in any terms? They both use start and end tags, thats all I know about JSP right now xD like <% %>

Hi,

Take a look at My Tech Rantings: PHP vs JSP - gives a good comparison of JSP and PHP.

Java (and as such, JSP) is a very powerful language and has its place in the world but I personally don't believe that it is on the web.

After looking at the comparison, I'll just stick with PHP as my only web programming language.
