Presentation: "Adobe Flash Platform and SpringSource"

Time: Thursday 17:15 - 18:15

Location: Rutherford Room

Abstract:

Recently SpringSource announced Spring BlazeDS Integration, a new open source project to provide tight integration between Spring and Adobe BlazeDS, Adobe's open source server-based Java remoting and Web messaging technology.

This collaboration will make it easy for Java developers to create enterprise-class rich Internet applications (RIAs) using Adobe Flex software, a cornerstone of the Adobe Flash Platform, and Spring, the de facto standard for enterprise Java. In this session developers will learn the basics of the integration and will build an application that leverages this new technology.
