O'Reilly Head First Servlets & JSP Head First EJB JavaScript Head Rush Ajax Book

Four books from O’Reilly’s Head First series, covering the web and enterprise side of the line: Servlets & JSP, EJB, JavaScript and Head Rush Ajax.

The Head First books teach with pictures, puzzles, jokes and conversational asides instead of walls of text, and they’re still the series people recommend to visual learners. This set covers the Java web tier (Servlets & JSP), the business tier (EJB), and the browser side (JavaScript and Ajax).

Condition
All four are Good, with clean, unmarked text, tight bindings and no remainder marks. Marks worth naming:

• Head First JavaScript: a previous owner’s ink signature at the top of the “Advance Praise” page in the front matter, above the printed heading; it doesn’t touch any printed text (photo 17).
• Head First EJB: slight shelf wear to the cover.
• Head Rush Ajax: light scuffing to the cover.

No discs, and none missing
None of these four titles came with a CD-ROM.

Shipping
Stretch-wrapped and boxed, USPS Media Mail, with a printed packing list in the box.
