[ANNOUNCE] JavaServer Faces in Action book available

2004-05-13 Thread Kito D. Mann
I'm pleased to announce that my book, JavaServer Faces in Action, is now 
available via Manning's Early Access Program (MEAP). MEAP allows you to 
download chapters of the book as they're finished, and then get the print 
version when it becomes available (if you so desire). In addition to 
thorough coverage of JSF, I explain how it relates to Struts and other 
frameworks, and also provide a chapter on Struts integration. You can get 
the book from Manning's site (http://www.manning.com/mann).

[ANNOUNCE] JSF Central Launches 'In the Trenches' Series About Real-World JSF Projects

2005-02-14 Thread Kito D. Mann

JSF Central today announced the start of “In the Trenches” – a series of 
articles about real-world experiences when developing applications with 
JavaServer Faces.

In order to help organizations understand how they can best leverage JSF, 
“In the Trenches” showcases projects that use JSF for web application 
development. Each article will focus on one or more projects, explaining 
how the technology was used and discussing any issues the team faced during 
the development. The first article discusses how an Italian company has 
standardized on JSF as the foundation for its web development.

In order to ensure a constant stream of case studies, JSF Central is 
continuously searching for information about JSF projects. As an incentive 
to anyone whose story is included in the series, he/she will receive a copy 
of the book JavaServer Faces in Action, courtesy – Manning Publications 
(for a limited time).

The series can be found on the web at 
<http://www.jsfecentral.com/trenches>http://www.jsfecentral.com/trenches.

stories, send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: JSF Training

Natalie,

There are a handful of courses out there from companies like ArcMind (see
http://www.jsfcentral.com/resources/courses/). I think Marty Hall has a
course as well, and I also do customized training and mentoring. 

As for the quality, I'll refrain from judgment, as I'm a little biased :-).

Admittedly, I'm on the JSF bandwagon, but people often don't realize that
JSF and Ajax go hand-in-hand. It's just that you don't have to code it
yourself, which is, after-all, the whole point of JSF (components). 

Most component vendors are adding Ajax support already. For example, see:
