Studying vs. Doing
My parents are in town for this next week and I expect to relax most of the week, but also squeeze a few hours in each day for Java. I'll probably do a bit of work for clients, but I expect to spend most of my time with Tapestry and JSF. I have to write a chapter that includes these frameworks in 3 weeks and I hope to integrate them into AppFuse by the end of the year.
Last night, I started thinking - I can use this week for 2 things: reading or doing. I could finish reading Tapestry In Action and get a good start on Core JSF. Or I could make the leap and begin implementing them in AppFuse. The latter sounds like more fun. Of course, the books should serve as good reference guides when I need help.
I found the Tapestry book to be a great introduction. But it really took the following three turotirals to get me going:
<strong>Good CRUD Example</strong>

<strong>Exapmles of contrib:Table (analogous to display tag), and a tree impl.</strong>
