Jaye,
You can program things from scratch all the time or you can use frameworks
and available resources to make the program more efficiently. The official
curriculum is always going to be about the base functionality of a language.
You have to go outside that to learn about frameworks and extensions. The
same is true in all languages. The official Sun curriculum teaches you how
to develop Java apps and never mentions the tons of available open-source
projects and frameworks available. However, a very large portion of Java
projects will use Apache Struts as their framework as it provides
functionality you don't need to redevelop.
Besides, it's no surprise that MM is using Mach-II since Sean Corfield has
been blogging about it for a while.
Sam
