Q&A
Java is back on the desktop! We need to deliver high-quality, good-looking, multi-tier swing applications to our customers. How can Spring help us to achieve this at minimal cost?
Next to the typical usage of Spring for IoC, transaction management, security, remoting, and internationalization, this talk will focus on applying Spring to construct a composite smart-client desktop application. Spring aids to develop a consistent user-interface made out of re-useable desktop components. Furthermore, it helps to maximize productivity, and lower the barrier for new developers.
Jo Wyns is product development manager and technology manager at Pearlchain.net, a dynamic IT-company which he co-founded in 2004.
