[NEWS] Struts packs them in at NE JUG

[Ted Husted <te...@gmail.com>]

Attendance at the NE JUG presentation of "Struts 2006: An
Embarrassment of Riches" topped 230 last Thursday. The last
presentation to draw so many attendees was "An Insiders View of
Struts" in October 2005. The New England Java Users Group
(http://www.nejug.org/) is the largest JUG in the US and second
largest in the world.

The Struts 2006 session  was an updated version of the recent
ApacheCon presentation, announcing the merger of WebWorks with Struts.

The second session was an "Action 2 preview" of WebWork 2.2. Ted
Husted was joined on stage by Ian Roughley, a WebWork developer
specializing in Ajax.

An extended question and answer session followed each presentation.
One popular topic was whether to start new Struts Action development
in WebWork 2.2, in anticipation of Struts Action 2. Another was topic
was what Struts Shale brought to the table over plain-old JSF.

The presentation started 30 minutes late, due a traffic jam at the
door. With the extended Q&A, the meeting ran 90 minutes late.

Great crowd. Great night. And, you can't beat the NE JUG snacks. The
crowd went through 500 complimentary pizzas before half-time.

(No, Wally, not each.) :)

-Ted.
