Elliotte Rusty Harold doesn't want to cover Tapestry on his Cafe Au Lait page becuase he "doesn't understand what it is".
Let's help him out ... reply back to the list with a one- paragraph description of Tapestry. I'll collect them and forward them back to him. I'm kind of surprised that, even after looking at the home page, he didn't get it. I'm trying to read the home page with fresh eyes, and (though not in paragraph format) it seems to cover things ... web applications, object/methods/properties, less coding. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tapestry.sf.net ---------------------- Forwarded Message: --------------------- From: Elliotte Rusty Harold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Coverage of Tapestry Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2002 11:26:23 -0400 Simply put, nothing you have sent me has succeeded in explaining to me what Tapestry is, what it does, or why anyone would use it. The messages are full of lots of buzzwords that I can't decode into what it actually does. If I don't understand it, I can't write about it. :-( For future reference try deleting all adjectives from your info, especially fast, faster, better, easier, reusable, robust, localizable etc. See if what's left would explain to somebody what the product or what it is. I just looked at your web site and I still can't figure it out. The best I've got is that it's something like JSP. OK, but what is it? What would I do with it? serve web pages? build an online store? wash the dog? I don't know. This is not specifically directed at you. There are lots of other projects that get treated similarly for the same reasons, and are also thus not mentioned on my sites. Velocity, most application servers, and lots of J2EE products just can't seem to explain what it is they actually do. Also note that to be mentioned the product must be useful to a Java/XML developer. It is not enough that the product itself uses Java or XML. -- +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Elliotte Rusty Harold | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Writer/Programmer | +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | XML in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition (O'Reilly, 2002) | | http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xian2/ | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0596002920/cafeaulaitA/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Read Cafe au Lait for Java News: http://www.cafeaulait.org/ | | Read Cafe con Leche for XML News: http://www.cafeconleche.org/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek PC Mods, Computing goodies, cases & more http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Tapestry-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tapestry-developer
