Event Highlight: Framework Adoption for Java Enterprise Application Development (13 Jun 2013)

It was our pleasure to have Mr. Clarence Ho, Senior Java Architect of SkywideSoft Technology, speak with us on the Framework Adoption for Java Enterprise Application Development on 13 June 2012 (7pm) in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Clarence has over 20 years of IT experience. He had been the team leader of many in-house application development projects, as well as many consultancy services on enterprise solutions to clients.

In this speaker session, Clarence gave a high-level comparison on the features among various Java and open source development frameworks in the market, such as JEE and Spring. He also shared a case study by reviewing a project that he had done before in a large-scale mission critical banking project. He explained the high-level application architecture, lessons learnt on the adoption of different open source technologies and the rationale behind some major architectural decisions.

The seminar was well received with a full house of over 50 IT architects and managers from more than 20 organizations. We had a fruitful interactive Q&A session where Clarence discussed with the audience on the criteria of choosing a good and suitable framework. He also addressed the concerns of open source framework support and provided his views on the differences between .NET and Java frameworks.
