Description

There are equivalent ways for doing numerous things in Tapestry 5.

An equivalence table, or rosetta stone, or icon that links "tagged" features within the documentation would be a treat for new to intermediate developers. A double rainbow or double unicorn for giggles.

For example:
1) @Property bindings within the template, or in the page's java class file.
2) contributeApplicationDefaults VS command line parameters / symbols
3) component templating (MarkupWriter element&end/writeRaw VS .tml VS streamResponse)
4) JS & CSS inclusions within .tml files or in java classes. Further, inclusion of contexts versus relative

I've read the above 4 examples time and again over the last 12 months as I've part-timed my way through Tapestry deving, but it's just not that easy to find what I'm looking for in a quick enough time.

Cheers
Chris
