[ajug-members] Event Planning: Web Framework Battle

[gunnar at hillert.com]

Hi,

As a starting point you may want to look at the presentation done by
Matt Raible on comparing Java web frameworks.

You can find it here:

http://static.raibledesigns.com/repository/presentations/ComparingJavaWebFrameworks-JavaZone2007.pdf

He seems to be the best resource out there in terms of comparing web
frameworks, especially since he is behind the Appfuse
project(www.appfuse.org).

Regards,

Gunnar


> Hello Team (you are all now part of the event planning exercise!)

>
> We have successfully laid the plans for the Oct, Nov, Dec & Jan 2008
> meetings. Plus have a candidate for a 2nd Jan meeting as well!  So now
> that
> I have some breathing room, I want to orchestrate two new events that will
> require a significant amount of manpower on behalf of the coordinator.
> There are two topics that I believe would best be covered by a group of
> panelists who can talk about their experiences.
>
>
>
> Topic 1: Web Frameworks
>
> Topic 2: Methodology/Processes
>
>
>
> This email concerns Web Frameworks (another email will be sent out to
> discuss the other topic).
>
>
>
> We need:
>
> 1 - coordinator/producer - someone who will make sure the people below
> show
> up, on the right date/time, with the right information
>
> 3 to 4 - panelists - these may be end-users from the local community OR
> these may be representatives from the actual framework projects (the
> latter
> is going to be way more difficult to come by).
>

>
> The objective is to have a lively discussion of one a panelist loves
> his/her
> framework the most.  They might be totally fascinated by Struts 2 or
> Wicket.
> Or perhaps they love JSF or even Seam.  Or maybe they think Struts 1 is
> still the best thing in the world and will make sure his/her projects will
> continue to use that technology for years to come.

> In any case, I would like to hear your opinions the following:
>
> -          What frameworks should be reviewed (need a champion on the
> panel)
>
> -          Who should be the panelists (we are primarily looking for sr
> devs
> & archs who use this stuff)
>
> -          What are the key questions to be asked of the panelists (e.g.
> tell us about your framework's AJAX-ibility or adaptability to auto unit
> testing)
>
>
>
> Please do reply all and lets make this an open discussion.  Part of the
> learning process will occur just in this conversation.  I do believe this
> is
> make for a very fun and educational event.
