Community is what defines success, a concept well
known (if poorly applied) in the open source world, and slowly dawning in the
proprietary world. That's where Alexander comes in. Community is best expressed
when individuals do ridiculous things for the benefit of others in the community. For
example, writing a fourteen (fourteen!) part on-line tutorial about Tapestry 4, and
now following up with this book on Tapestry 5.
I think you'll see that Alexander has a real handle on what Tapestry is, and more
importantly, how best to use it. Tapestry isn't a Swiss Army knife or even a toolbox;
it's an entire workshop for creating web applications in Java. This book is a great
guided tour of that workshop, showing where all the bits and pieces are stored and
how they can be combined to get things done. Dive in, get smart and start having fun
with Tapestry!

Introduction to Tapestry
Programming for the Web is very rewarding. Your application, once deployed,
becomes available to millions of people, and it doesn't matter which the kind of
computers they are using. If they have a reasonably new web browser, they have
a good chance of being able to fully appreciate your creation, whether they are
running Windows, Linux, Mac OS, or UNIX on their workstation or hand
held device.
