Imho, yeah the CTWIG is helpful as a starting point for a newbie. The other tutorial that I thought that was helpful was from the www.cocooncenter.de topic auto-mount, except that it needs a litle change instead of WildcardURIMatcherFactory it should use WildcardURIMatcher on the sitemap.xmap. I believe galatea.com have listed the minimum jar files required to make up a working cocoon environment. It sure do take lots of efforts to know where these goodies resources are. Jeremy and Lajos Cocoon Developer's handbook is excellent for newbies (I am a newbie). Chapter 11 is very insightful covering the heart of Cocoon, sitemap.xmap. The other two books imho is more for framework designers and cocoon component developers. I did not get to read the two in depth but looking at the samples(as a newbie I like to see lots of working samples) I would say Jeremy & Lajos is by far the friendliest.
