I'm in class this week (which is why I'm quiet all day then spam the list
when I get home at night).  I'm learning "WebSphere Portal 5.1 development
with RAD 6".

Now the class expects quite a bit of basic Java knowledge (which I don't
have) but I think I'm keeping up okay.  Just wondering if anybody is dealing
with this stuff.

I'm constantly amazed about COMPLICATED this stuff is: to do a "hello world"
portlet "the right way" you're talking like 5 or six separate files!  RAD 6
(based on Eclipse 3) is okay (not great) but OH SO SLOW AND BIG (the install
of everything - RAD 6, WebSphere developer edition and Portal tools - is in
the 3 gigabytes range - upwards of 18 CDs).

If I stay at the company I'm with I'll be moving away from CF towards this
stuff - does it ever get simpler?
