Presentations
Introduction to Tapestry 4
An introduction to the Apache Tapestry web application framework, which will explain the concepts and features of the framework with some simple applications. We'll discsuss Tapestry forms, request cycle, component object model. The use of several important components, including BeanForm and Table will be highlighted, along with meta-programming using the Trails framework.
Tapestry In Action (Part Two)
In Tapestry, components are not an add-on; in fact, anything but! Tapestry components are integral to the entire framework ? if something dynamic is going on in a page, there's a component involved.
Pragmatic Unit Testing with TestNG and EasyMock
You've heard about unit testing but were daunted when it came time to put the pedal to the metal. That's because JUnit is just one tool and there's others you need to learn about, including the wonderful and wierd EasyMock and the easy and powerful TestNG.
