Hi,

It is posible to create a tutorial of using Laszlo with a java web application in pdf format?

Thanks,

Hello Lorenzo,

Our current plans are to continue to produce documentation in HTML. This has the added benefit of allowing us to include the live examples.

As to your question about java web applications, I'm not sure what you mean. The Developer's Guide does contain tutorials on how to interact with web services. If you can be a little more specific about what you're trying to do, perhaps I can suggest a specific section to read.

My idea is, that in order to feel the productivity of Laszlo, and because I am java web programmer, si to create several simple projects. One of this can be the login.html using Laszlo instead of plain html or JSF or Struts.

The Laszlo script will can redirect to a jsp page or servlet that checks the data and goto other Laszlo script. I know that Laszlo has database connectivity, but what if I want to change data in a registry and want to use EJBs or JDBC.

It will be extra nice to download a war file with all the files required to compile and execute.

Thanks for your concern.
Lorenzo

P.D. It will be also if in the near future Laszlo can release a begginers book!

Hi,

I fundamentally believe you should be able to print out documentation, especially if you develop on a single screen system where flipping between screens is cumbersome (at best). "HTML only" is fine if it prints out correctly. Right now, using either Safari or IE on my Mac OSX (10.2.8) G4 PB, the text comes out in a long narrow column and the graphics don't print at all. I haven't tried it on a Windows machine. Needless to say, these printouts are not terribly useful. PDFs are great for this type of problem. I would encourage you to re-consider your HTML only stance.

Thanks,
Peter

We will take it into account as we prioritize our documentatin plans over the next few months.
