Wesley Hales, JBoss Portlet Bridge lead, has posted the first in a three part series of tutorials on developing applications using Seam, RichFaces and the JBoss Portlet Container.

Enjoy!

DZone just posted an interview with me about Seam.

We spoke for a few minutes about Seam, and some of the features of Seam 2. Then we moved on to talk about the upcoming Seam 2.1, how it will support other view layers, and where JSF is going. Finally we spent a few minutes talking about Web Beans, and what it will mean for Seam users.

The site has both a transcript, and the audio.

On Monday afternoon I will be talking about Seam and Web Beans at the UK JBoss User Group in London.

The programme starts at 14:30, and I'm speaking at 15:00. I'll give a short intro to Seam, and then move on talk about future - Seam 2.1 and Web Beans.

I'm pleased to say we have released Seam 2.0.2.GA.

This release focuses on stability, component updates and documentation improvements. We've fixed over 150 bugs since Seam 2 was released back in November, and, with over 70 000 downloads since then, Seam 2 has had pretty good exposure.

Thanks to the hard work of the JBoss.org team we've also improved the look and feel of the reference documentation. Technical content has also been added with chapters on getting started with JBoss Tools, a tutorial on internationalising your app, and updated information on using Seam with different application containers.

JBoss.org/Dev Fu have just posted the audio from my JBoss World presentation - Introduction to Seam. You can find the slides here.

Enjoy!
