Environment Setup
Setting up the development environment was a breeze.
Good documentation and tutorials were freely available.
My recommendation is to go through the presentations in the developer zone.
http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/devzone/presentations
or the tutorials atLiferayPedia
http://wiki.liferay.com/index.php/Main_Page
NOT RECOMMENDED to use the liferay quickstart guide as there are some little mistakes here and there that wasted a few hours of my time. The quickstart guide 4.0.0 is still RC1 as I am typing this document. RC1 is not good enough, yet.
Next step is to write a portlet...

Why Liferay?
As you should already know since you are reading this blog, there are quite a number of portal solutions out there, two of the most talked about being Liferay Portal and JBoss Portal. So why was Liferay chosen?
InfoWorld has done an excellent comparison of Liferay 4.0 and JBoss 2.2.1 here and Liferay emerged as a clear winner, at least where usability is concerned.
Lennard Fuller also did a comparison of portals like JetSpeed, GridSphere, eXo, StringBeans, along with JBoss and Liferay, which can be found here.
Punit Pandey, who has a pretty good blog on Portals made some suggestions that if you want:
Liferay has came out tops in both comparisons, and most importantly, my boss chose Liferay. :)
