Need to learn Tapestry...

[Mood] - (I'm actually not sure.)

I'm excited that I'm about to learn something new. But at the same time, I'm scared that I won't be able to beat my deadline.

For my project with HP, I'm required to create a resource management webapp. They wanted a new J2EE framework, so I recommended that we try out Tapestry since I was intrigued with their presentation layer. They use HTML tags instead of JSTL which is fine with me because I don't really like JSTL. The whole concept to me is out of whack. I would rather use scriptlets and JSP tags than use JSTL. I guess I'm just not comfortablee with it. Anyway, the beauty of using HTML tags is that web designers who deevelop the front end need not to learn a new coding scheme since they only have to reemember additional HTML tags in the Tapestry template. This, they say, is truly a separation of presentation from logic. I just hope I get to be acquainted fast with the technology, since I'll be implementing not just the presentation layer, but also the business logic. I'm done with the database design and the the implementation of the schema. So that's one down. I've also set up the server and the libraries. Now I just have to start reading about the implementation of Tapestry, and start doing some exercises. Even my Delta has Tomcat+Tapestry. Wish me luck




Though Chain: Does anyone have a resource book for Tapestry? Peram naman o!
