For a fast-paced introduction, watch Mark W. Shead's 10 Minute Demo. This video shows how to set up a simple Tapestry application, complete with form validation, Hibernate-based persistence, and Ajax. The video provides a preview of the development speed and productivity that experienced Tapestry users enjoy.
