Along the way with the Tapestry 5.2 release process, we have started to develop a demonstration application inspired from Seam Hotel Booking. The latest version 1.1 has been released, we think that it provides a solid basis for all Tapestry newcomers, it will provide all you need to start developing a *real* application

• Project configuration
• Layout and page design
• CSS usage
• Model design
• Tapestry Hibernate contribution usage
• Tapestry JSR-303 contribution usage
• Working with form
• Working with Ajax components
• Working with Tabular datas
• Optimize your database access when displaying Grid
• Custom security design
• Custom conversation design
• Custom javascript component
• … and many more topics to provide a complete overview

Many thanks to Katia A.G. for her great involvement in the project and thanks the community for its feedback. Next to come, other implementations based on third-party contributions and more advanced Tapestry stuff.

I encourage every Tapestry user to checkout the source code, comment, contribute, participate… at github. Note that the application is available online on our official Tapestry website.
