Effective Web Application Development With Apache Sling 0

The document discusses the Apache Sling framework for building web applications. It provides an overview of Apache Sling including its history and activity level. The key concepts behind Apache Sling are that it is OSGi-powered, REST-based, content-driven, and allows for scripting inside. The main building blocks discussed are resource types, script resolution, request selectors, resource providers, and the Java Content Repository (JCR). The document also covers how to build Sling applications through modeling content in the JCR, reading from the repository, extensions, and deployment.
