I will be signing Practical RichFaces book on Wednesday, June 3rd, 3:30-4pm at the JavaOne book store. If you buy the book there (I think throughout the conference) you will get 20% discount.

I’m at JSFOne in Vienna, VA. I have three sessions, one each day:

• JBoss RichFaces
• Rich Internet Applications tools: JSF/RichFaces, Flex, and JavaFX

We also just released a new component library called Fiji. Fiji is a JSF component library (based on RichFaces) that allows to use JSF and Flex components together where the Flex component are bound to standard JSF managed beans. More info.
