This semester in college I will attend the course of Software Development for Web and while studying the menu I saw that we will use JSP.
What struck me is the fact that the discipline comes accompanied by other themes like XHTML, Tomcat 6 and the use of an old version of JDK (version 5).
With what I know so far and after a quick search, we know that there is HTML 5, Tomcat is currently in its version 8.5 and Java is moving to JDK 9.
As the menu is clearly not up to date (I’m more sorry about my classmates who are starting in the area than I am), I ask:
- Learning JSP in 2017 is still relevant?
- Is something present in the market and that is evolving and constant use or is something I will learn to forget right after six months?
- If the JSP is already out of use, what alternatives to use to fill the gap left by it?
In fact I find it absurd to teach technology.

@I agree with that, but I think that technology here is just a tool, not the target of discipline. I also think the question can be saved.

It is common for menus of disciplines to be outdated (it is frequent for example to cite the first edition of a book that is in its third or fourth edition). It doesn’t mean that it will be what the teacher will use in class. I’ve just never seen this specifically in relation to technologies.

@ramaral I think all can, when this is saved, we can reopen, at the moment it is based on opinion.

@bigown don’t get me wrong, I didn’t want to question the closing.

@bigown any idea how to improve the question?

@bigown understood the problem of the question. I believe I can reformulate the doubt.
