Register - MyEclipse for Spring: Accelerate Spring Development (1/28/10)

This webinar will introduce you to the new “MyEclipse for Spring” product from Genuitec and Skyway Software. Targeted for production release in Q1 of 2010, MyEclipse for Spring is a set of accelerators for Spring development.

Get started with Spring, generate all of the architecture you need to get going, and then customize your projects – all in minutes, not days.

What does that really look like? We will be covering the following technical topics and concepts:

Spring MVC Scaffolding: Quickly generate Spring MVC CRUD applications from database tables, POJOs and JPA entities
Spring Project Bootstrapping: Automatically create Spring configuration files and add Java libraries and web resources
Enhanced Spring Development Editors: Simplified configuration of Services, Controllers and Spring Web Flow

Watch a sneak peak

The Webinar will run for approximately one hour and include a QA session following the technical presentation.

Participants will be given the option to participate in a free, early-access program.

REPLAY - Using IBM Rational Software Architect and Skyway Builder for Spring Development (5/12/09)

Over 50% of all Java applications being developed today are based on the Spring Framework. Skyway Builder, a Spring-certified code generator, integrates with IBM Rational Software Architect (RSA) to accelerate the design and development of Java applications running on the Spring Framework. The Skyway Builder integration with RSA enables a Spring application to be envisioned and modeled within Rational using UML. The UML is then transformed through Skyway Builder’s Spring DSL to create a fully functional, fully wired Spring application that can be deployed to WebSphere and other application servers.

Watch Skyway Software Founder and CTO, Jared Rodriguez, and IBM Rational Product Manager, Bill Smith, as they present a hands-on overview of Skyway Builder's integration with Rational Software Architect (RSA).

In this webinar, you will learn:

How to envision and model Spring applications within Rational using UML
How to transform UML into fully functional, fully wired Spring applications
How to sync working Spring applications with their UML models through bi-directional integration

REPLAY – Skyway Builder and Skyway Generation Framework for Spring (11/06/08)

Creating Spring applications is now easier than ever. Join SpringSource and Skyway Software for a webinar on how to accelerate the delivery of Spring applications using Skyway Builder and the Skyway Generation Framework for Spring.

In this webinar, Skyway Software Founder and VP of Product Delivery, Jack Kennedy will present a hands-on overview of Skyway's Spring-certified code generation capabilities. Building on Spring's comprehensive framework that abstracts the complexities of enterprise software development, Skyway's Generation Framework for Spring takes the creation of Spring applications one step further with rich tooling and automated configurations.

In this webinar, you will learn:

How Skyway Builder fits in with your existing Spring tooling
How Skyway Builder generates Spring-certified code that looks like it was hand-coded
How the modularity of the Skyway Generation Framework for Spring enables users to generate Spring code and artifacts as an end-to-end solution or for individual Spring Framework modules

Attend this webinar if you are:

Looking for ways to deliver Spring applications with fewer defects and greater consistency
Interested in learning how to focus on the desired behavior of your Spring applications instead of wiring and configuration
Curious about using rich tooling and automated configurations to deliver your Spring applications

REPLAY – Model Centric Design and Development for Spring (5/28/08)

As open-source technologies become more and more pervasive in more enterprises, this webinar highlights key underpinnings of the defacto runtime standard (Spring) for Java software applications. Hear Christian Dupuis, Senior Software Engineer and Team Lead, Spring IDE & SpringSource Tool Suite at SpringSource and Jared Rodriguez, CTO and Founder of Skyway Software also describe how developers can use Skyway Builder to modify/customize existing Spring applications quickly and accurately to minimize rework and retraining and to reduce application development risk.

You will learn/see:

A brief architectural review of Skyway Software's and SpringSource's tools
How to access SpringSource applications in Skyway Builder
How to apply Skyway facets/natures for quick, yet robust, application development and deployment
How to autowire for Spring to deploy applications to the same (or new) infrastructures

REPLAY – A Two Step Process That Will Simplify Software Delivery (6/27/07)

As IT organizations push to keep up with business, they realize they must find a way to add agility and simplification to their existing software delivery process. SOA has been touted as the great white hope but architecture alone will not make it happen. What is needed is a set of best practices that supports a new collaborative and interactive software delivery processes. The question is how does IT even begin to get there from here?

Hear Mike Gilpin, Vice President and Research Director at Forrester Research, Inc and Mike Evans, Director of Customer and Partner Enablement for Skyway Software address this topic in detail. Mike Gilpin will address the most important delivery concepts and best practices for developing and deploying business services as a foundation to a successful SOA strategy. Mike Evans will talk about new tools and processes that are required to enable IT to fully leverage this new interactive and collaborative approach to application development and deployment.

You will learn:

How to deliver applications that meet the needs of your customer - on time and within budget
How to blend existing steps within the software delivery lifecycle to speed up application development and deployment
The reason business services are the building blocks of SOA-based applications
How building out services allows you to leverage other investments
How to incorporate collaborative process design concepts and best practices into application development and deployment
