Oh - and even if you decide not to buy the book, the examples are checked in at http://manifoldcfinaction.googlecode.com/svnroot/trunk, including the revised examples for the second edition, which describes how to use Velocity for the UI elements. But I strongly recommend buying the book nevertheless, since it should clarify many of the trickier why-we-do-it-this-way concepts.
