The Struts Learning Experience will be a learn-by-doing exploration of the Struts framework centered around a group project. The group will meet twice a month. At each meeting we will review the progress we have made on assignments from previous weeks, select the code, if any, to be "committed" to the main development stream, discuss the appropriate technology for implementing the next functions on the development plan, and decide which sub-teams will be assigned to which remaining development tasks. The assignments will be structured so they overlap, with more than one sub-team working on a solution to each task. This will allow discussion of various approaches to each development step (and should facilitate steady progress on the project even if attendance by some sub-teams is spotty.) Team members are encouraged to use a variety of environments (Application Servers, development IDEs, etc.) so we can compare experienced using a variety of tools.
At the first meeting we will discuss the proposed project, work up a brief project plan, identify the first development steps, discuss the tools available for developing Struts applications, esp. freely available, open-source tools, such as Eclipse, etc., and form development sub-teams.
If you have done some Struts development before it would be useful for you to bring the details of your development environment -- what components did you use? -- what version? -- how did you like using it?
If you have been wanting to learn Struts -- perhaps because it will fill a void in your resume, or just because you are curious about it -- this workshop should be attractive. At the end of the project the tool developed by the group will be deployed to the TriJUG website. (The plan is to rewrite the Jobs-board.) This should give participants a reference to a J2EE project they have helped create that is being used.
