Looking forward to this. More books will be good for Tapestry, especially when they start covering more advanced topics such as in-depth Tapestry IOC. I will buy a copy.
Some topics I'd be interested in: - Application security, authentication and authorization- best practices with several popular frameworks - Spring integration - Onno On Mon, Aug 5, 2013 at 10:13 PM, Thiago H de Paula Figueiredo < thi...@arsmachina.com.br> wrote: > Hi! > > I've said a handful of times in this mailing list that I'd love to write a > book on Tapestry.
