The basic idea of the Beans tutorial is to
get you to the point where you can quickly
create beans. You may want to write new beans
from scratch, or you may want to take existing
components, applets, or other classes and
turn them into beans.
A second goal is to help you understand basic
Beans concepts. It can be difficult to assimilate
concepts and turn them into pragmatic programming
techniques strictly by reading Beans source
code, API interfaces, or even the Beans specification.
This tutorial is not a replacement for reading
the Beans specification. Rather, it is designed
to enhance your comprehension of the specification by
providing concrete examples, and step-by-step
guidelines for building and using Beans.
After working through sections of this tutorial,
you will find it helpful to reread corresponding
sections of the Beans specification. You should
also study the example source code provided by
the BDK to further your understanding of beans.
