Hi all,
Being a slow learner myself, the lack of documentation
in JBoss just didn't help much to get me started.
I believe there are a lot of people like me (can't be
the most stupid guy in the world, can I?), who are
struggling to figure out how to program in JBoss.
So maybe I should work on a "JBoss Programmer's Guide"
document. The following is the first draft of the
table of contents. Only JBoss 2 will be targeted.
The document will be released electronically under
GPL. Helps are needed in a lot of areas, and I invite
all those who know JBoss and EJB better than I do
(and I think there are more than I can count), to
contribute to this document.
All contributors will be acknowledged (all those I
can keep track of, of course, but I'll do my best).
However, you will not get paid, as I don't forsee
this document to generate any sale or revenue.
If you can contribute a whole chapter, that's even better.
Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 need help badly.
All other disclaimers apply, and you can't sue
me for anything. I hate this part, but that's to
cover my ass.
That being said, don't expect the document to be
available next month. As I said, I'm a slow learner,
it took me 4 months to understand what a C pointer
really means. But I expect to write the few chapters
as quickly as I can (all priorities considered, that is)
Thanks in advance for any help. All ideas and
suggestions are welcome.
