Answer 1

Here are some tutorials I've found:

1. http://www.coreservlets.com/JSF-Tutorial/jsf2/ - A complete guide to JSF
2. http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/pfd/jsr314/index.html - The actual specification
3. https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net/nonav/docs/2.0/javadocs/index.html - JavaDoc (generated from the source)
4. https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net/sandbox/ - A sandbox

These sites also have plenty of links. I hope this helps you get started!

The IBM Developer works tutorial (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jsf2fu1/) were useful for me.

Answer 3

I would like to suggest you that - always start with Wikipedia because , it will have the updated, un-biased, and accurate information on any topic of the world. I have learnt so many things starting with Wikipedia. Most of the times, the tutorials on other sites will be dependant on a particular implementation / library or any such subsets and so will not be exhaustive. Wikipedia will be almost exhaustive and simple enough for newbies. All the best. If you are in SO, It means you are on the right track already. :)
