Topic......: Accelerating Web Application Development
with JBoost

Description:

So you develop web applications. Have you ever had to
change the "skin" of a web app? "Duh, of course," you say!
Have you ever had to hard-code role-based security
into a web app? And then change it? Over and over?
"Duh, of course," you say! And what about
internationalization and localization coding challenges?
Let us introduce you to a new approach to addressing
each of these situations utilizing the
"Separation of Concerns" software development best practice.
During this session we will not only take you through a
brief presentation explaining the approach but we will
also give you a demonstration of how JBoost can save you
significant amounts of developer time over the life
of a web app.
