All contest participants:


Silveira Neto, Sun Campus Ambassador at Federal University of Ceará,
Brazil, has put together a tutorial for you on how to install and
deploy your first application using GlassFish. He found it very easy.
Check it out here.

Thanks a bunch, Silveira, for the tutorial and for your great spirit
