I looked at the wiki page with success stories and even I glanced at that briefly I have noticed that everybody mentions steep learning curve in one form or another.
I think that it is not fair anymore to say that Tapestry has that steep learning curve â it depends on what we are comparing. Surely Tapestry is harder to learn than Struts ( for simple one page âapplicationâ ), but if we compare Tapestry and JSF then Tapestry is definitely easier to learn and use than JSF. There are some very brief notes about JSF (MyFaces) experience http://kgionline.com/presentations/wa/readme/notes/jsf-myfaces-notes.html (note - this is not a permanent link ) I think that Tapestry community should do something to dispel the âsteep learning curveâ myth. --- Howard Lewis Ship <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Nothing spurs success like success, nothing spurs > adoption like adoption. > > One of the great hurdles Tapestry faces is not > technological, it is social. > > Most people reading this list already know that > Tapestry is a terrific > technology for building all kinds of web > applications. > > However, for the rest of the world, its easy to lose > sight of Tapestry > in the maze of options; in the web framework arena, > across different > platforms, there are hundreds of options to choose > from!
