Summary: From the creation of new components to integration J2EE
Comment: Howard M. Lewis Ship is the creator and the principal architect of the Java software Tapestry. In Tapestry In Action, Ship also draws upon his more than fifteen years of experience as a professional software developer and member of the Apache Software Foundation to provide users of Tapestry 3.0 with a definitive instruction guide to using Tapestry in crating full-featured web applications; and achieving common tasks ranging from form validation, and application localization; to client-side scripting and synchronization between browser and app server. From the creation of new components to integration J2EE, Tapestry In Action covers everything and does so with a thoroughly "user friendly" text enhanced with simple examples. No Java reference collection can be considered complete or comprehensive without the inclusion of Howard Ship's Tapestry In Action.

Summary: Excellent introduction, solid examples
Comment: Ship, and the folks at Manning, took some time on this one and it shows. The flow of the book, the examples, the code, and the use of sparing use of graphics combine to make this a high quality read that imparts information effectively.
The introduction is fairly brief (about 20 pages). The author doesn't spend a lot of time on background or comparing this framework to other similar technologies (one of the books few flaws). Then he gets into a simple Hangman example in chapter two which provides a good groundwork for understanding the material in the chapters that follow.
Chapter four, on HTML forms management, is a particularly fine chapter. Not only do the graphics augment the text well, the author adds bit of experiential non-Tapestry information. Like section 4.2.5 on enums which provides Java best-practice material in context, but which is not 100% relevant to Tapestry. I like to see that because all too often authors limit themselves too strictly to the topic and provide little valuable experiential material. This is especially true when they are discussing leading edge technology like Tapestry.
It's nice to see that Manning has also started picking up on some of the hallmark items of other notable publishers, like the condensed and well organized component reference in Appendix C. This type of material augments turns this introductory piece, into a long-term reference.
Definitely worth the buy if you are serious about using Tapestry as the basis for your Java web development.

Summary: Struts users, check this out!
Comment: I've been working with Struts for 3 years now and I've taken the radical step to use Tapestry in my projects in favor of Struts. I'm not going in to detail (see other reviews and the tapestry site for that), but suffice it to say, Struts was good while it lasted, but I'll never start a new project with struts ever again since Tapestry came into my life. It's just the next step on the evolutionary ladder and this book will help you take the climb easy enough.
