I would like to add my vote of support to Geoff on this. Tapestry is a very feature rich and deep framework, with a significant learning curve for new developers. I would like to see effort go toward improving Tapestry�s documentation, with a focus on the Tutorial, to ease new and junior developers into Tapestry.
When I first assessed Tapestry, I spent 2 days reading and digesting the Developers Guide. When reading the Developers Guide I knew I was onto something revolutionary, but I believe your average developer is not willing to spend 2 days learning something new. I would also like to see additional Tapestry Components. For me the big differentiation between Tapestry and Struts (or any other Command pattern Web Application Framework), are the Tapestry Components. With otther JSP/Tag based frameworks simply can�t do what Tapestry can withoug a mess of code. Tapestry can bind JavaScript to Components giving you a very interactive Web Application. Using Microsoft HTC behaviours you can do extrodinary things with Tapestry and Javascript/ DOM. Visual Basic and Delphi were very successful because of their component based approach. Highly specialized/skilled developers developed these components which a great number of application developers used. The application developers didn�t know or care how these components worked internally, they just used them. Tapestry also has this potential. With a solid base of components and good documentaiton Tapestry can enable run of the mill application developer be very productive. p.s. � congradulations Geoff, best wishes for the future. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Jabber - The world's fastest growing real-time communications platform!
