The long awaited JavaServer Faces (JSF) 1.0 specification is finally available in its final form. JSF is the latest addition to the Java web tier technology toolbox, allowing you to use a design model similar to the one used for traditional GUI programming for web application development.

I contributed to the specification as a member of the JSF “expert group” (EG) and have written a book about how to use this new and exciting technology. The book is scheduled for release late April 2004, and you can pre-order it now at Amazon.com and other online book stores.
