Just my 2 cents... I think that if you have Cocoon experience from prior projects, it should be fairly easy to start a new Cocoon2.2 project. If you have basic knowledge about Spring and Maven you should come a long way. I build all my projects with Cocoon2.2 nowadays and I would not want to go back. Whereas I used flowscript very heavily in the past, I'm tending towards java based solutions more and more and Cocoon3.0 sounds promising with it's REST-controllers.
Wondering if there is a date ahead for a first release candidate? ;-) Cheers, Robby Pelssers -----Original Message----- From: David Beasley [mailto:david.beas...@publishingtechnology.com] Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2009 6:44 PM To: users@cocoon.apache.org Subject: Re: Starting out with Cocoon 2.2 Thanks for everyone's responses. I'm beginning to think that I should use Cocoon 2.0, because at least I know this is well documented. Which is a shame after people have put a lot of effort into developing versions 2.1 and 2.2 ...

I can see that there's low level documentation there, but not much to give me an overview, put things into context, show how everything hangs together. > I would say think seriously before you commit another year or two of > your life to learning it! Do you really think that's how long it takes to become proficient in using Cocoon?! I was hoping to knock this off in a few weeks. Isn't that the point of application development frameworks like Cocoon - to make development times an order of magnitude faster? regards David Beasley --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@cocoon.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@cocoon.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@cocoon.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@cocoon.apache.org
