If you are not interested in all the technical details of Servlet development in eclipse and tomcat, and you just want a quick introduction on how to install an Eclipse based Web development environment with all the bells and whistles and create a quick Servlet, then this screencast is for you.
Actually i just wanted to play around with Wink, which is totally awesome. Maybe I will create a more sophisticated version of this tutorial later. Sorry for the messy audio and some content glitches, but I’m sure it will be helpful to some people anyways.
…and I have to say it was a tough ride. First off I’d like to mention to all MySQL developers that I hate their guts for setting swedish character sets and collations as default in the new MySQL 4.1 (well actually I don’t, just some tough love here guys 
). As a result some of the old articles may contain strange characters. Most of the comments are gone and my urls that are registered with google are seriously broken.
Anyways I found these Articles to be helpful with the transition:

As for the reason why I switched? Drupal was at the same time too big and too small. It just doesn’t work that well as a blogging tool. It’s more of a CMS thing. Also, the Drupal API is just daunting. Good luck figuring out a quick hack for drupal on the fly.
P.s.: I spent most of the day fixing the broken links. Now I’m left with 388 mod_rewrite rules – hopefully that will be enough. Sheesh – what a mess this is. First MovableType, then Drupal and now Wordpress – all have different urls. This was some major piece of work.
