"It would be much longer though, so I wasn't sure if people would
actually watch it."

I would!!  I'm currently learning Tapestry, and it wouldn't bother me in
the least if your tutorial took thirty minutes to play.  Provided it
covered important key concepts (e.g. Tapestry form -> Hibernate ->
relational DB), and was technically correct (as per suggestions recently
made by Howard and others).

So, please do produce an update of your video.

Best regards,

Chris.
