Day 1 of Writing I spent most of the day today in the library, pounding away on my keyboard trying to get a good start on my first chapter, Security in Web Applications. I put together suggested outlines for my two chapters over the weekend, and I'm posting them here for your review. I tried to convert them to PDF, but then decided to leave them as Word documents so you can 1) see the outline view, and 2) comment in-line if you'd like. I'll also post the PDF version (thanks to FastPDF).

It was difficult getting started today, but once I got moving, I found that the words just kinda flowed out and it was rather enjoyable. The bad news is that I have until Friday to complete some 40-odd pages and I'm going skiing tomorrow with Julie's uncle, Chris Voda. Actually, the skiing is the good part, it'll clear my head and get me ready to write like a coder in the zone. Posted in Java at Dec 02 2002, 05:12:29 PM MST 4 Comments

You say "I'm going skiing tomorrow". I say "Oh it's bl@*dy raining again". So who has the best deal. Yet to review the docs but I will.

What about talking about struts-layout?

I suppose I could mention it, but as I've never used it, I don't know that I could give it a fair recommendation. I've never used it because I <em>like</em> writing HTML, and I'd don't like someone writing my HTML for me. Does struts-layout produce XHTML-compliant code? Does it use Struts under-the-covers, or does it need to be updated whenever the tags are updated? In other words, do you have your own tags, or just extend Struts existing tags?

You are right, using Struts-Layout is not very fun for HTML developers. Struts-Layout is about Industrialisation of Application Development. It was created for enterprise applications which have hundreds of screens with very poor computer graphics.
