The following page has been changed by ErikVullings: http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/SuccessStories ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Initially, the assumption was that another experienced developer would handle the back-end system alone and I would work with a junior (I don't like such titles, but it's easier than typing ''less-experienced'') developer to create the Web app. It is worth mentioning that this would have been a mentoring effort for me as the junior developer had '''''absolutely no professional Java experience'''''. - I had initially dismissed Tapestry due to the apparent steep learning curve. However, after an unsuccessful attempt at using [http://www.opensymphony.com/webwork/ WebWork], I decided to experiment with Tapestry by asking the junior developer to go through Kent Tong's excellent ''[http://www2.cpttm.org.mo/cyberlab/softdev/tapestry/tutorial1/GettingStartedWithTapestry.html Getting Started with Tapestry]'' Tutorial. Not only did he get through the tutorial just fine, but I made some encouraging observations: + I had initially dismissed Tapestry due to the apparent steep learning curve.

Not only did he get through the tutorial just fine, but I made some encouraging observations: 1. '''He was having fun.''' I frequently caught this otherwise highly-composed imperturbable man exclaiming "Yes!" upon a successful mouse-click. 2. '''He took personal initiative in his work.''' He figured out how to set up a Tapestry environment in Eclipse using Spindle and began development of our production app without a break after working on the tutorial for only 2 or 3 days. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
