zammetti.com - The web home of Frank W. Zammetti
The zammetti.com web site is currently undergoing a complete redesign,
which has been a seriously long time in coming!
Please be patient while I get my act together!
In the mean time, here's some links you may be looking for:
-
Books by Frank
I have authored four books thus far, with a fifth being wrapped up
shortly.
-
Technical articles by Frank
A couple of different topics, and they're all a bit old now, although
probably still relevant (to some degree)
-
Frank's blog
Not always safe for work (or safe for your spouse to catch you reading!)
-
Omnytex Technologies
Omnytex is Frank's psuedo-company that used to sell, but now gives
away, a number of products for the Windows Mobile (PocketPC, if
you're an old-timer like me!) platform (and one for your desktop
Windows machine too)
-
Frank's resume
I AM NOT currently on the market, but I keep my resume out here in case someone
wants to offer me a million-dollar salary... in which case we can talk :)
-
Frank's Facebook page
Yes, I'm finally socializing a bit there!
-
Frank's first Facebook game
Essentially this is just one of the games from one of my books wrapped
up in the Facebook platform (rather loosely in all honesty). It was
really just a learning experience for me to understand how to work
with Facebook. I have plans for a much more expansive game down
the road (and, I'm hoping, a potentially profitable one)

Materials from Frank's DWR presentation (slides and code)
This was a presentation given on 3/25/2009 to the
Philadelphia Java User's Group
on the DWR library
-
The Java Web Parts (JWP) project (includes APT)
The AjaxParts Taglib (APT) is probably the most "famous" component of
JWP, both of which were created by Frank
-
The Ajax Experience 2008 "Retrofitting Struts with Ajax Taglibs" presentation
A friend of mine, Ted Husted,
himself a well-known Apache Foundation member, gave a presentation at
2008's Ajax Experience conference at which he asked me to give a bonus
presentation on the JSON-P support in APT, and this link is to his
blog entry talking about it, which itself contains a link to the
materials from the presentation.
-
The DataVision project
DataVision is an open-source reporting tool similar to Crystal Reports,
originally created by Jim Menard, which Frank is now leading
-
Struts Projects at SourceForge
The Struts Projects site serves as a repository for examples and
extensions to the Struts framework (or at least, that was the original
intent... I'm frankly not sure if anyone does anything with it any more).
I have two contributions up there: AjaxChat, which shows how to write
a chat application in Struts using Ajax techniques, and AjaxTags, which
was an extension to the Struts HTML taglib that provides Ajax capabilities
to Struts developers without them having to write any JavaScript.
This was the precursor to APT.
-
The Struts Web Services Enablement Project
This is a project I started that allows Struts (1.x) Actions to be
accessed as "proper" web services with no change to them. This is
listed more for historic purposes as I have not done anything with
this project in a very long time, but it's a project I started, so I
figure it might be of interest to someone.
-
PocketFrog
PocketFrog is a graphics library for the Windows Mobile platform.
It is now more or less dead, but a while back I took over development
of it (although around that time it kind of lost relevance so I never
did much with it frankly). In fact, my most major contribution, aside
from a few new features a couple of years back, is getting it onto
SourceForge for posterity :) PocketFrog was originally written by
Thierry Tremblay by the way, not me (credit where credit is due
and all that!)
