Get your users to build apps for you

Imagine getting your users to build their own applications, particularly the form-based, CRUD-style applications, and easily deploy to Cloud Foundry. WaveMaker enables business developers to build Spring applications using a web-based, drag and drop interface. The resulting rich-web application leverages the full benefits of Spring and is fully tailorable through standard Spring patterns. Using ASTERIA WARP enterprise application integration product, we'll demonstrate how your users can easily retrieve data from disparate sources including SalesForce.com as well as an Excel spreadsheet.

This session will describe the kinds of people who should build applications and the types of applications they can build. We'll provide real world examples and demonstrate how seasoned Spring developers can extend and WaveMaker applications to meet enterprise requirements.
