The Angular Mini-Book is a
guide to getting started with Angular. You'll learn how to develop a bare-bones application, test it, and
deploy it. Then you'll move on to adding Bootstrap, Angular Material, continuous integration, and authentication.
Spring Boot is a popular framework for building REST APIs. You'll learn how to integrate Angular with Spring Boot and use security best practices like HTTPS and a content security policy.

It's likely you originally heard about ADF Faces being donated open source way back in December 2005. Looks like it's finally happened. It's going to be tough for Tapestry and Wicket to compete with JSF when big companies are providing components for it. The after-market for a web framework can certainly influence decision-makers.
Like most Java open source projects, I hope to release a new version of AppFuse this week before JavaOne. There's a couple reasons for this: 1) so I have the latest and greatest to demo during talks and 2) so the article I'm writing is up-to-date. Unfortunately, with both AppFuse and Equinox it's a bit difficult to make sure I'm using the latest and greatest for everything. This is because they're both very thin layers on top of their underlying dependencies.
I'm willing to bet that a few of these dependencies will have new releases this week, as developers scramble to get a bunch of stuff done before JavaOne. Here's my release predictions for this week:
My current plan is to fix outstanding issues for 1.9.2 and then hold off to do the release until this weekend. Hopefully that gives each project enough time to pump out a release. If you happen to be involved with any of the projects that AppFuse depends on - and you're not planning on releasing before JavaOne, please let me know.
The 1.9.2 release of AppFuse will (hopefully) be the last one in the 1.x series.
Work on 2.0 will begin towards the end of this month. See the roadmap for the cool stuff coming in 2.0.
As far as the CSS Design Contest, I'll announce the winners tomorrow. I also plan to fix this site in IE tonight and take another stab at making the header images and colors easier on the eyes.
