1. Re: Advanced Seam Book coming??
amitev Aug 25, 2007 11:11 AM (in response to asookazian)So you're not impressed by practical seam projects? I'm deciding to purchase it.

2. Re: Advanced Seam Book coming??
christian.douven Aug 27, 2007 1:38 AM (in response to asookazian)I would like such a book, too.

amitev Aug 27, 2007 2:04 AM (in response to asookazian)Maybe we should wait for Christian Bauer and Gavin King to write "the book"

4. Re: Advanced Seam Book coming??
christian.bauer Aug 27, 2007 2:18 AM (in response to asookazian)I don't want to write another large and complicated book at the moment. But I'm happy to review anything.

asookazian Aug 27, 2007 11:12 AM (in response to asookazian)The practical jboss seam book gives some insight into topics like how the @Name Seam components get loaded at application deployment time. It's a pretty decent book so far, especially if it's your first Seam book. Otherwise, it re-hashes a lot of material the others have already gone over...

asookazian Aug 27, 2007 11:13 AM (in response to asookazian)The Seam user guide that comes as a pdf file in the seam download (approx. 250 pgs) is a very decent "book" as well.
Another good intro (maybe the best?) is the relatively short chapter on Seam in King's/Bauer's Hibernate/JPA book... -
7. Re: Advanced Seam Book coming??
jacob.orshalick Aug 27, 2007 11:38 AM (in response to asookazian)Agreed. I would especially like to see a chapter (or more) dedicated to nested conversations. I have spent quite a bit of time (with a lot of trial and error) learning how to use them appropriately. I would certainly be interested in helping with this effort if there is need.

8. Re: Advanced Seam Book coming??
amitev Aug 27, 2007 11:58 AM (in response to asookazian)jacob.orshalick why don't you write an article about "how to use nested conversations". it will be reviewed by the seam guys and probably become part of the documentation.

9. Re: Advanced Seam Book coming??
jacob.orshalick Aug 27, 2007 12:03 PM (in response to asookazian)Sure, I could do that. I suppose that would also show if I am truly using nested conversations appropriately :) Is there a particular place I should send it for review once I've written the article?

pmuir Aug 27, 2007 12:17 PM (in response to asookazian)Make sure to put a link on the wiki and post a link here. Someone will look I'm sure :)

michael.yuan Aug 27, 2007 1:43 PM (in response to asookazian)I will try to find time to write a v2 of the Prentice Hall book -- the goal is to have it available electronically in Q1 2008 and in paperback around JavaOne again. The book will cover Seam 2.
I do want to add a few advanced chapters to it. If you have suggestions, please email me. Or, better yet, if you can contribute a chapter or two, let me know as well!!! Please email me at michael AT michaelyuan DOT com. Thanks.
