Yes, that's right, Tapestry 101 is up for you to download! It's been a long road and while I have thanked most of these folks in the acknowledgements I wanted to do it publicly as well. Howard Lewis Ship was invaluable as a technical reviewer and resource as was Joe Sam Shirah. I also want to thank Danny Mandel and Andreas Andreou for...

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are going through final edits of the last 3 chapters so anytime now ;-). I've also been working to make sure that the source code you can download is buildable and actually works since alot of changes happened between chapters 1 and 7 (not stuff in the book but code that provides other functionality...

Well things have changed a bit since my last post. Primarily the title of the book and its focus. The original text I was working on was going to be a "Live" book, SourceBeat has decided to try a new type of book called "101" which is designed to get you up and going quickly. We have decided to transfer what was written for the Tapestry Live...

Tomorrow I start on chapter 3 - Introducing Components and Validation. I've also setup the code repository on JavaForge, here's a link to the project page (for now...

Chapter 1 made it through the copy editing and is now in the hands of the layout/typesetter (not sure what they're called now) and I'm just about finished with the Chapter 2 rough draft. There are also some interesting discussions going on on the mailing list about Tapestry 5. The discussion was spurred on by this message from Howard,...
