I found them very helpful. I'm new to both Java web development and to Tapestry. I like that they use Ant. Many tutorials I found around the net seem to think Eclipse is the only way to go. I do most of my work over an SSH link with a text based terminal emulator, so Eclipse is not an option. Ant works well for me. I've also been working through "Enjoy Web Development With Tapestry" by Ka lok "Kent" Tong. The Quick Start tutorials have helped me with Mr. Tong's book. Over all I find his book very useful but it is geared towards Eclipse users and also towards Windoze users. I'm a Linux user who prefers Ant. The Quick Start tutorials have helped me build the various examples in the book using Ant instead of Eclipse. I probably wouldn't have purchased the book if it wasn't for the help of the Quick Start tutorials. It would be nice if Mr. Tong would show multiple ways to build his examples, such as Ant, Maven, etc., instead of just Eclipse. Oh, the one suggestion I have for the Quick Start tutorials, except for continuing the series, would be to make a PDF version available sutable for printing.
