Eclipse Webinar Sep. 23: Simplifying Desktop Development with Glimmer
The Eclipse project Glimmer is a JRuby API for SWT that takes advantage of the expressive
Ruby language to provide a simple user-interface DSL (domain-specific
language). Developers can rely on Glimmer to build the presentation
layer of desktop applications in Ruby while keeping the business logic
in Java, or alternatively do complete desktop application development
in Ruby. Glimmer comes with built-in data-binding support to greatly
facilitate writing maintainable and testable desktop application code.
In an upcoming webinar, Andy Maleh will introduce Glimmer, demo the
latest features by contrasting the code of an application written in
both Glimmer and classic SWT, provide a quick update on the status of
the project and finally, have a Q&A and feedback session.
