That would be me :-)

The "Tapestry Petshop" is on hold for a while, I've decided to dedicate the 
little free time I have to properly learn Java/J2EE, because currently as a 
Java programmer I'm a joke.
I started the Petshop with the ambitious goal to learn Java/Tapestry with 
"hands on experience", and become proficient with both rapidly. I failed 
miserably. I'm not that smart and Java/J2EE is not that easy (this two 
reasons appear to be somewhat connected).

So, with this new found enlightenment I am now *actually* reading Java/J2EE 
books and related material.

I think so too. Unfortunately I can't recommend the current version of the 
Tapestry Petshop to newbies, it's plagued with design problems and all around 
bad code.
I'm having a long due vacation in December in which I plan to work in the 
Tapestry Petshop  and I'm thinking that a new and improved Petshop may come 
to light before the end of the year.

Best regards,

Luis Neves
