OrlandoJUG - Meeting Info

Hello OrlandoJUG!

This month's meeting is cancelled but next month's meeting is going to be great.

Josh Davis will present "OrlandoJUG - Moving to Cloud Foundry from JEE, the PAAS Journey".

This session will go through the concept behind Platform As A Service (PAAS) and how Cloud Foundry works to make Java Development faster and more productive.  We will walk through developing an application and show the differences and advantages to using Cloud Foundry over other approaches.  In addition the session will show the pre-requisites for using Cloud Foundry, and the steps to convert a JEE application built with JMS into one that can be enabled on the cloud.
