Seam 2 or Seam 3

[ziyang]

Hi guys,
I am a newbie in Seam.
As we know, we have Seam2 and Seam3. It seems that Seam2 is more learner-friendly. I can find some materials like Getting Started under Seam2. But there is no such content under Seam3.
So, could somebody tell me some resources to learn Seam3.
As a newbie, should I learn Seam2 first or go to Seam3 directly?
Which one is the mainstream and stable one???
Thanks a lot for your answers.

Seam 2 is the current production ready release of Seam. If I were you I would start with Seam 2. Its stable and there is quite a bit of material round to learn it. Seam 3 is still under active development and based on the release schedules I wouldn't want to start using it for about another 12mnths (but thats just my opinion)
