Building Cloud-based Apps at Hi-speed

We are all on the hook to build bigger, faster, and stronger apps everyday. But do we have the technology? By using Spring Roo, we can create web apps using stock standard Java, but cut through a lot of tedious boiler plate. Combine that with Micro Cloud Foundry, and we can develop a cloud-based app on our own desktop. Given that we can create more instances of Cloud Foundry for integration, testing, and production, that puts us in the driver's seat for the 21st Century.

Meeting Details:

The meeting will begin at 6:30pm allowing members time to network, arrive and enjoy pizza. At 7pm, ASUG will give an introductory welcome, and will be shortly followed by the presentation. After the presentation we will be giving away some awesome schwag that was kindly donated to us by SpringSource. As always, everyone has the option to head downstairs to Aja for networking and drinks after the meeting.
