[WEB SITE] What is Tapestry?
For the home page, I kind of see the need for a section "What is Tapestry?"
Here's my first pass:
What is Tapestry?
Tapestry is ... agile
Easy to code, easy to test, easy to deploy. Tapestry encourages you
to work in small increments with immediate feedback so you are
always making fast, forward progress. Want to code in Groovy or
Scala instead? No problem!
Tapestry is ... fast
Tapestry is pure Java. It doesn't use Java reflection, and is built
to cleanly support large numbers of threads. Better yet, it
automatically includes standard performance-enhancing strategies such
as GZip content compression, JavaScript aggregation, and far future
expires headers ... all techniques to cut down on the size
and number of requests.
Tapestry is ... productive
Code and templates are lean and mean. LIve class reloading means
that the time between seeing an error and providing the fix
is seconds, not minutes. Advanced exception reporting gives you all
the tools you need to fix your problem: not just
a stack trace, but every bit of information you need to know about
what Tapestry was doing and why it was doing it.
Tapestry is ... scalable
Tapestry scales up big on a single server, but also gives you great
options for when you need to switch to a cluster. Tapestry makes
it easy to store information on the client (as hidden fields or
query parameters) or on the server (in the session).
Tapestry is ... adaptable
Tapestry's architecture is open and extensible. Don't like how
Tapestry does something? There's a clean way to add your own
logic, or substitute some of Tapestry's logic with your own. Tapestry
modules make it easy to create components and package them
for reuse in your current application, or across many applications.
Tapestry is ... global
Tapestry has built-in support for more than a dozen different
languages, and makes it easy for your application to cleanly
support multiple localizations. Tapestry automatically tracks the
user's preferred locale and makes it easy to access
user-localized messages across the entire application.
Tapestry is ... dependable
Tapestry's roots go back to 2003 as an Apache project, and even
earlier as an open-source projects. Thousands of applications
run on Tapestry, including high-throughput sites like SeeSaw.com.
Tapestry applications have a history of running glitch-free.
Tapestry is ... fun
Tapestry removes the tedium of developing web applications, leaving
just the fun parts. Tapestry keeps you "in the zone", having
fun and coding up a storm! Tapestry: code less deliver more!

Yes, HTML5 is the future now. Indeed we can develop HTML5 apps right
now and have support from the vast majority of browsers (don't want to
comment on IE-old-semi-old-versions).
I'm developing a private "financial" application with T5 that is
supporting all the HTML5 features currently supported by FF, CHROME,
SAFARI and IE(8/9) even if the only "official" supported version will
be FF and CHROME.
We are developing a strategy to support @Persist ad a "client storage"
using the new web client storage API from HTML and Tapestry5 needs
just small "fixes" to support us.
Indeed a great plus for us! And Tapestry5 should/would play on this
talent for its own advertisements
Cheers

These are good points, and HTML5 compatibility will be important. I think
we'll see an @HTML5 annotation for pages that converts them to use HTML5
output rules ... but there's more than that, such as training the validators
to write HTML5 attributes for validation (fortunately, that is supported in
the APIs!).

the website is now published and this thread is talking about homepage
content.
*1 ) Tapestry is ... agile*
Easy to code,* easy to test,* easy to deploy. Tapestry encourages you to
work in* small increments *with immediate feedback so you are always making
fast, forward progress. *Want to code in Groovy or Scala instead? *No
problem! "
*> Easy to test, small increments *: this is related with agility
indirectly, but directly with the testability and embraces TDD techniques we
try to introduce on software development projects. I would rather place this
into *
Suggestion : ''Tapestry is test focused' or "testable".* I don't know which
could be the best way to express this in English. Will be nice to point to
tapestry covertura results too.
*> Groovy, Scala* I would rather place this into *"Tapestry is polyglot".
*
IMHO, the agility term is not bad but I think it might be overused and not
really related to the functionalities we are trying to describe on this
part. I fell it as if we said: "Tapestry is cloud computing". Yes, it is
... we deploy tapestry applications on the cloud if we want to ...
*2 ) Tapestry is ... scalable*
After Matt Raible's talk, and Igor's answer, and Matt's matrix updated, I
realized he didn't change his "scalable 0.5" to "1", even if as we say here
: Tapestry is scalable. Well, this is Matt Raible, and honestly before and
while writing this mail I've been hardly trying to understand how and why he
decides scalability degrees for each web framework. I fell he is not being
coherent on his matrix for this point. If somebody would like to discuss it
fell free to send me an email.
*
Suggestion : 3 ) Tapestry is ... REST ? *
Tapestry is one of the first java web frameworks that integrates easily with
REST architectures, despite of being component oriented. I say despite of
because I listen people saying - Matt Raible for example - as if action
oriented fw are more suitable for WWW rather than a component oriented fw. I
don't think this applies to tapestry.
Tapestry is able to let us develop 99% stateless and rest applications for
WWW, but very stateful ones if we needed too. I think this point is not well
enough explained on documentation (correct me if I'm wrong).
I'm suggesting to directly talk about REST Architecture on the front page
too. I consider this point very important to be highlighted now that REST
architecture design paradigms are finally starting to reach enterprise
development too.
Finally, I would like to say that would be nice to add two more entrys on
the very near future. These two I consider them to be crucial for the
project health and future in order to convince new customers, new developers
and new comers to join and to use tapestry :
*- Tapestry is ... HTML5 compatible*
- *Tapestry is ... your favourite JavaScript library*

Re: [WEB SITE] What is Tapestry?
Posted by Howard Lewis Ship <hl...@gmail.com>.
Thanks for the comments ... yes a breakdown like that would be nice.
Tapestry for Project Leaders (3 or so high-level entries) vs. Tapestry
for Web Developers (the remainder).

Re: [WEB SITE] What is Tapestry?
Posted by Sebastian Hennebrueder <us...@laliluna.de>.
What do you think about a 2-3 short messages to non or less technical
people and then some messages to softwaredevelopers
Tapestry is ... a web framework for Java
Tapestry provides all features you need to write a complete web
application with or without use of Ajax. Tapestry applications are
normally written in Java, the most popular
enterprise applications development language but you may use Groovy and
Skala as development language as well.
Tapestry is ... highly productive
Tapestry embraces convention over configuration, which means little or
none configuration effort. It is based on components which allows heavy
reuse of elements in other pages. It supports hot class reloading. Just
change a class and reload the browser page.
Tapestry is ... scalable
Tapestry works well for everything from small web applications with
just a couple of pages, to large web applications with hundreds or even
thousand of pages. It scales great on a single server but its runs
perfectly on clustered servers or cloud environments.
Tapestry more technically
Tapestry is ... agile
Easy to code, easy to test, easy to deploy. Tapestry encourages you
to work in small increments with immediate feedback so you are
always making fast, forward progress. It helps you fixing problems
with incredible detailed error messages. Want to code in Groovy or
Scala instead? No problem!
Tapestry is ... fast
Tapestry is pure Java. It doesn't use Java reflection, and is built
to cleanly support large numbers of threads. Better yet, it
automatically includes standard performance-enhancing strategies for
web application such as GZip content compression, JavaScript
aggregation, and far future
expires headers ... all techniques to cut down on the size
and number of requests.
Tapestry is ... productive
Code and templates are lean and mean. LIve class reloading means
that the time between seeing an error and providing the fix
is seconds, not minutes. Advanced exception reporting gives you all
the tools you need to fix your problem: not just
a stack trace, but every bit of information you need to know about
what Tapestry was doing and why it was doing it.
Tapestry is ... scalable
Tapestry scales up big on a single server, but also gives you great
options for when you need to switch to a cluster. Tapestry makes
it easy to store information on the client (as hidden fields or
query parameters) or on the server (in the session).
Tapestry is..based on components
Tapestry is based on components and templates
Tapestry applications consist of pages and components. Components
are easy to write, and hook together easily ... components
can contain other components. Templates are either written with HTML
or XML and are easy to read and to change by web developers and
designers. Tapestry does
all the "dirty plumbing" to connect your components and pages.
Tapestry is ... adaptable
Tapestry's architecture is open and extensible. You need to integrate
other technologies for your business logic (Spring, EJB), input
validation (Bean validation)? Tapestry provides you with many hooks to
integrate your preferred libraries. There are already many integrations
for popular technologies. And even better: You don't like how
Tapestry does something? There's a clean way to add your own
logic, or substitute some of Tapestry's logic with your own. Tapestry
modules make it easy to create components and package them
for reuse in your current application, or across many applications.
Tapestry is ... international
Tapestry has built-in support for more than a dozen different
languages, and makes it easy for your application to cleanly
support multiple localizations. Tapestry automatically tracks the
user's preferred locale and makes it easy to access
user-localized messages across the entire application.
Tapestry is ... dependable
Tapestry's roots go back to 2003 as an Apache project, and even
earlier as an open-source projects. Thousands of applications
run on Tapestry, including high-throughput sites like SeeSaw.com.
Tapestry applications have a history of running glitch-free.
Tapestry is ... fun
Tapestry removes the tedium of developing web applications, leaving
just the fun parts. Tapestry keeps you "in the zone", having
fun and coding up a storm! Tapestry: code less deliver more!
clusters a lone developer working on
an application with just a couple of pages,
all the way up to large teams and applications with hundreds of
pages and custom components. For big teams, Tapestry's
pages and components design keeps the efforts of different
developers automatically integrated.
Best Regards
Sebastian

I'm thinking the basic "a web-UI framework for Java" might be useful for the "stating the obvious" department.
But some people coming to the site may not actually get that context, if they're journalists or managers looking at platforms. Probably need to make some sort of really hyper-obvious statement that categorizes its niche.
