What Next?

Hopefully, after reading this introduction you now have a general understanding of:

• The general architecture of the Escenic Content Engine

• The object model used to represent the structure and content of Escenic web sites

• The technologies on which the Escenic Content Engine is based

• How you can use Escenic templates to generate HTML pages containing articles retrieved from the Content Engine

There are, however, still a few things you need to know before you are ready to start making your first templates:

• Web application structure

• The template development process

In addition, if you are completely new to JSP programming, then it would probably be a good idea to find out a bit more about:

• JavaServer Pages (JSP) - see http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/docs.html.

• JavaBeans - see http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javabeans/docs/index.html.

• JSTL - see http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl/reference/docs/index.html.

• JSP expression language - see http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/JSPIntro7.html.
