Rules engines are powerful beasts which allow you to program in a way in which you specific rules and facts, rather than a linear set of instructions.

It takes awhile to get used to “Thinking in Rules”, but it gives you immense power for particular logical problems. You pass control HOW the rules are applied to the rules engine, and just give it the information it needs to get the job done.

Rules based systems are often great solutions for enterprise problems, and are uniquely useful for building so-called ““business rules”“. Now you have an external view of your business, and can change behaviour via the rules rather than hard coding your application.

Learn about the power of Rules based thinking in this talk, as we go through and show real examples of how it can help you out in your daily toil.
