Caught in Cocoon’s web

Pavel Sýkora’s nice introduction to the
Cocoon publishing environment
got me interested (see Dagblog, November 5, 2003, Cocoon for Web Applications), so I started dabbling with it myself. Unfortunately, I only
had time for a quick look, but even that was enough for Cocoon to impress me.
I especially liked the option of integrating a portal with Cocoon and generating different
output formats depending on the client device, such as a browser, PDA, or phone.

Last week brought the second installment of Pavel Sýkora’s Cocoon by Example series,
Cocoon by Example (2) — Installation and a First Application. It makes
it much easier to get Cocoon running and try a first example. For another look at what Cocoon can do,
see Tony Culshaw’s Enterprise Application Integration using Apache Cocoon 2.1.
After yesterday’s experiments, I’m definitely going to explore Cocoon further.
