Extreme Agility with jMatter

The jMatter framework is a modern implementation of the Naked Objects Architectural Pattern using Swing, Hibernate, and deployed with Java WebStart. This open-source framework produces 2-tier workgroup apps (Swing front-ends that talk to rdbms back-ends) intended to be used in a LAN or VPN environment.

Developers using a Naked Objects style framework focus on building a behaviourally complete domain model and leave everything else (UI, persistence, etc) to the framework. By focusing on the domain model only, jMatter claims to offer 10x productivity for building Swing workgroup apps.

Come discover jMatter in a hands-on presentation where we'll be developing a live application and hold discussions about this new empowering style of producing business applications.

–
This presentation focuses on learning how to develop workgroup applications using the jMatter framework (open-source).

jMatter embraces the philosophy behind NakedObjects (see nakedobjects.org) which the author believes to be a paradigm shift in the way developers construct business applications.

We will explore this framework in a hands-on manner, by building a live application. This presentation is given by Eitan Suez, the author of the jMatter framework.
