Presenting Tapestry at OCJUG

I'm co-presenting to the Orange County Java User Group tonight. The title is 'Developing Web Applications with the Tapestry Framework'. We'll be using Tapestry 3 for the presentation so we can show the tools like Spindle and the Palette while promoting the upcoming Tapestry 4 release.

The presentation will cover a complete, if somewhat lightweight, application we will use to introduce the benefits of developing in Tapestry. The application includes a component library containing components to integrate Google Maps into a Tapestry application.

The archive: ocjug.zip contains several Eclipse projects, including a set of dummy service/dao/model classes which provide model data for the application. The Google Maps component is used inside the Meetings page and requires a Google Maps API key to work. You should be able to add these projects to Eclipse and run the examples if you have Spindle and JettyLauncher installed.


The slides cover the material we're presenting and give links to Tapestry information sites but we expect the presentation to be more demonstration than just talking around the slides (click on the image below and use the arrow keys to move to the next slide):
