Auto-Magic Web Apps Built with AppThena


Java WUG Join Richard Gemmell for JAVAWUG BOF 34 on the 12th of Febuary, where he will discuss Auto-Magic Web Applications - How to build a Web App in 1 minute with AppThena.

Web applications are now pretty well understood, so why do we still need to put so much effort into building them? Even the latest generation of tools such as Hibernate and Spring haven't cut the cost of development enough to make them affordable to small businesses. During this talk, Richard proposes that once we have a data model, much of the work that goes into a web application can be done auto-magically. This allows us to build applications in a very different way. Instead of gluing pieces together until we have a finished application, why not start with a complete but basic application and then add the unique behaviour that we need? If you build web applications and have ever had to explain to your boss or the customer that "these things take time" then you'll enjoy this talk.

Participation is free for those who register

Join Kito Mann for this Skills Matter, In-the-Brain Session on Ajax and JSF on Tuesday, 19th February at 18:30.

With the emergence of AJAX as a preferred way of building web user interfaces, JavaServer Faces (JSF) has proved itself to be a natural fit for integrating AJAX with Java sever-side logic. JSF allows you to build AJAX applications without worrying about the complexities of JavaScript and DHTML. However, many different approaches for using AJAX with JSF have emerged. This session looks at these different approaches, the pros and cons, and provides key insight into JSF's future as an AJAX web development platform.

ApacheCon Europe '08

The world of Apache commnunity is coming back to Europe, this time, its the beautiful Netherlands again.

ApacheCon is a week of open source goodness straight from the source of the Apache Software Foundation, featuring 15 intense training classes over two days followed by three days of more than 50 sessions by the creators of open source software such as the Apache webserver, Tomcat, Lucene, Wicket and more.

Don't get me wrong, there are times when I can positively recommend a book or resource based on the area or domain that you are interested in. For example, I'm currently reading the Definitive Guide to SQLite, to write my first database app, you might want to pick up wxPython in Action if you're going to start writing wxPython GUIs; or Python & XML if you're doing XML work; etc. The reason for this exception is to help you to narrow you search and effort to a domain-specific area. Apart from that, I will not recommend any book as we all learn differently.
