Open Computing: An Open Source Development Workshop
This session is a combined briefing/workshop where participants will be given the opportunity to build a robust, open computing development environment that can be used to build and deploy applications. Workshop modules will include the installation and configuration of open source/open standard tools such as Eclipse 3.2 with the Web Tool Platform, Apache Derby and Apache Geronimo, and WebSphere Application Server Community Edition. This workshop will also provide hands-on tutorials to use these tools to explore various tasks and skills required to develop and deploy web applications. This technical workshop will be led by Paul Coates, Senior Software Engineer from IBM's Academic Initiative team. Seats are limited. To register, contact Michelle Sagan at msagan@pubpol.umass.edu.
