[RESEND] What have changed since "Cocoon: Building XML Applications" was published?
[Resend from legitimate address]
Hello to all
I am about to start designing and implementing a portal application using
Cocoon.
In order to do so, I just finished the "Cocoon: Building XML Applications"
book.
The book offer's you some "best practices" and methodology which gives me
the feeling I am ready to start and design my application.
Now - I imagine some things have change since the book was published. I
wouldn't want to design the application, just to figure out then that my
chosen methods are long over-due.
I was thinking that maybe, just maybe - some of you had already gone through
that phase, read the book, collected the missing/outdated data, and can hand
me a list of items that I should go through before start my design..
I know I am spoiled, but I guess it is worth the shot.. :)
I would off-course appreciate the effort !
Thank you in advance.
Elad

Thanks to all who answered !!
I will start reading about Flowscripts and Cforms and the Portal Block.
Looks like life had become a lot easier on the past 2 years for a
Web-Application developer with Cocoon!

It all depends on what your application is. The book describes Cocoon 2.0,
and although everything you will find there is still available in the
current version, a lot of new features have appeared in the area of web
application development (compared to publication).
Among all changes, the most noticeable ones that may heavily influence on
application design:
- flowscript, that makes it really easy to setup complect interactions (i.e.
guiding the user through successive pages)
- Cocoon Forms, a powerful form handling framework, that kicks ass when
combined with flowscript
- a complete rewrite of the portal framework
