Details

I would like to formally announce that JAVAWUG (Java Web User Group) is holding the Thirty Seven Birds-of-Feather (Meet-up 37) 20th May 2008 from 18:30 until 20:30.

Talk

Finding ways to reduce complexity is the single biggest challenge facing enterprise application developers, and applying techniques for modular development is critical to this cause.

Impala is a dynamic module framework for Java enterprise application development. It builds on the Spring Framework to provide a genuinely modular, highly productive environment for web-based applications. It allows for applications which scale conceptually - that is, can grow very large without exploding in complexity.

In this talk, Phil Zoio will demonstrate Impala, showing how it can speed up kick starting and developing applications. He will also show how Impala breaks down real world obstacles to building manageable, easily configurable enterprise software.

The talk offers particular benefit to developers who have had some real world experience using the Spring Framework. Some knowledge of the Spring is assumed.
