Presentation:

Pete will introduce the JBoss preferred approach to developing applications, with its underlying motivations and design goals. He will walk you through a pre-built Java EE 6 application, and show you how JBoss’ RAD tool, JBoss Forge, allows you to easily add capabilities. He’ll deploy both locally, and to Red Hat’s free cloud, Red Hat OpenShift Express. The application will offer a mobile-friendly HTML5 front end, allowing you to use the app during the session.
Pete will discuss the requirements for the application, why the technologies were chosen, and how the application is architected.
