Thanks! May I quote you?

Actually we are developing the tutorials as the training
guide for our Tapestry training in Macau. Later, we plan
to provide it as a book. To support the community and to
get Tapestry and myself going, we plan to keep the first
several chapters free available to get anyone started.
Readers can then go to the reference materials bundled
in Tapestry or buy the book. Then we'll donate half of
the net revenue to Howard for the development of Tapestry.
The TOC of the proposed book is:
1 Getting started with Tapestry
2 Input validation
3 Creating an e-shop
4 Creating custom components
5 i18n
6 Working with the table component
7 File download and upload
8 Using a common layout
9 Using javascript
10 Building dynamic forms
11 Test driven development with htmlunit
12 Using a database and supporting concurrenct user accesses
13 Integrating with servlet, jsp and struts

Hi sales,
And if you could be courageous enough to reveal your name your book could
be a bestseller overnight! :-)

Agreed. When I wrote my book I knew very little about the subject - the
publisher only required a few sample pages just to prove that I could
actually string sentences together ;-) They weren't too concerned about
my depth of knowledge. If you are going to write on a subject then, yes,
you need to be knowledgable about it. However, one way to be
knowledgeable is to write about it! The most important part is being
interested in writing about your subject - bored authors make for boring
writers and thus bad books.
Writing a book is something everyone should do at least once in their life.

Authors of books are folks just like you and _me_ :) I've only written
about topics I'm passionate about, and I immerse myself in the
technology. The best way I acquired the know-how was by being active
on the mailing lists, and researching the problems and questions posed.
Digging into the source code and of course building real-world
applications with the technology are important to writing a good book
also.
Erik

How do you build up a sufficient level of knowledge to write such a
book? TIA? Experiance? Both?
