Eitan Suez's Blog

I'll have Spam, Spam, Spam, sausage, eggs, and JMatter please..

For some reason, I did not catch the wonderful Monty Python Flying Circus episodes in my youth. Recently in the USA on public TV they've started airing re-runs.

So it was not until maybe a few months ago that I got a great big laugh watching the classic Monty Python Spam episode, wherein everything on the menu has Spam in it.

Earlier this week I proudly announced that I'd finally open sourced JMatter, a framework that I've been developing for a good while, for developing rich client applications at very high productivity levels.

I never really blogged about it, feeling it was not appropriate to promote code that was proprietary. For some reason, even now I have a little difficulty with this. So I thought why not try to do it with a little humour? That usually makes the SPAM go down a little easier. :-)

On a more serious note, I've been delighted at the response to my announcement. We already have a thriving mailing list, terrific discussions, and I've had the good fortune that a few fellow developers have blogged most favourably on JMatter.

If you have a little time, I invite you to check it out!

• Hi Eitan,

  Congrats on your framework. It's great to have another NO framework available - I make it 5 if you include my own not yet finished one.

  I don't agree with you about domain objects having to extend from one of your base classes, though. I posted some thoughts about this over on my blog.

  But that's why there are umpteen web frameworks isn't it? Let the punters decide. Anyway, congrats again.
