Hello tapestry-user <at> jakarta.apache.org,

For all of you who wondered about Howards whereabouts in the last days here
is the answer:

This time it was us, startext GmbH (www.startext.de), who "hijacked" Howard
to Bonn, Germany, for a 5 day onsite training.
We are currently developing a web-based intranet-solution for one of our
customers in the archive area. After some mediocre experience with
JSP/Struts in another project we decided this time to use Tapestry and
therefore thought it would be a good idea to "penetrate" Howard...

The training included presentations on Tapestry and Hivemind, hands-on
sessions and lots of Question&Answer.

It was very impressing to watch Howard - equipped with not much more than a
text-editor (o.k. he used Eclipse+Spindle) - to code, browse through docs
and find right solution immediately. In many cases his "first try" code
compiled without errors and immediately showed the expected result. We
learned a lot, not only on Tapestry, but also on how to approach our
problems and find solutions for our web-app projects.

We barraged him with detailed questions, many involving client-side
JavaScript related to our
application. We never stumped him, and it was great to see his thought
process as he worked out
solutions, on the spot, for our most difficult questions. We're keeping all
the sample pages he
created as a detailed reference for when we encounter the same issues later.

Best regards,

   Dominik Kreutz
