What motivated you to study JSP/Java Servlets/Apache Tomcat?

I find developing web application using Java interesting especially when I started to read Head First: Servlets and JSP. What motivated you to study servlets and JSP? Were you inspired by a website that uses this technology? If yes, what website is this?
Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

As I am fully self-taught, I tend to rip things apart to see how they work. As I got more and more involved in the internet, I found more and more dynamic sites with funky codes which intrigued me. My interest piqued when I decided to create my own e-zine from scratch - with the ability to post articles without having to dinker with html. A whole new world opened for me as I tried phpNuke. I was enamored, but found the phpNuke to not quite do what I wanted.

I was in Borders looking at geek books, and came across Tomcat; The Definitive Guide for Tomcat (4). I read a bit - only to be interrupted by some book-kid who told me the store was closing! I had to buy it. For the first time in my layman years as a web designer, SOMETHING MADE SENSE!

Now, almost 10 years later, I am a department supervisor programming, designing, engineering and developing Java ecommerce sites using .jsp, Velocity, Struts, Springs and other Java technologies. I also use javascripting, xml, css and more... and there is more... just so much more....

And I have absolutely no certifications in any of this! Go figure!

I dont know if you are going to believe this, but in Venezuela, my country, some lucky guys as myself got the chance to enter in a FREE programming course, and yes they tought us JSP and Java Servlets.
I'm not going to say that was the best course, but for being absolutely free , I can't complaint.
What motivated me? I'm a nerd, a geek, I like being that, and I feel I couldn't be one of those, without knowing at least some programming. And of course, it was free :)
Good luck :)
