Announcing JSFOne

I'm very excited to announce the JSFOne conference, which I'll be hosting along with the No Fluff Just Stuff Symposiums. Jay Zimmerman (the NFJS organizer) and I have been talking about this for at least a year or two, and the time has finally come.

I think we've truly put together an excellent lineup of speakers who are deep into JSF: Ed Burns, David Geary, Keith Donald, Chris Schalk, Michael Yaun, Ed Burns, Max Katz, Ted Goddard, Jeremy Grelle, Stan Silvert, myself, and others.

The conference is tailored for application developers, solution architects, and project managers who develop applications with JavaServer Faces, Seam, Spring, and related technologies. Key topics include:

* JSF 2.0
* Facelets
* Spring integration
* Seam
* iPhone
* Google API integration
* Writing custom components
* Sripting JSF
* Portlet development
* Testing
* Component suites like RichFaces, ICEfaces, and others

The conference will also be running in conjunction with The Rich Web Experience East -- you get two shows for the price of one. The Rich Web Experience is a one-shop-stop for all things related to Ajax, RIAs, and the evolution of the browser.

If this sounds interesting, you should definitely join us at JSFOne this September 4th-6th in the Washington, DC area! (We're also giving away new iPhones, too.)

Also, stay tuned to JSFCentral for new content from our speakers.

Javapolis Interview now Available

Public Training Course in Edinburgh, Scotland

This intensive JavaServer Faces (JSF) training course is designed and developed by Kito Mann, author of the best selling JSF book JavaServer Faces in Action and founder and Editor-in-Chief of JSFCentral.com, (a site devoted to the JavaServer Faces community) and a speaker at conferences such as JavaOne, JavaZone, and the the No Fluff Just Stuff Symposium. This is training from the source!

This JSF course begins by explaining what JavaServer Faces is, and how it relates to Struts and other web frameworks currently on the market. You will learn about key JSF concepts, and some of the architectural principals behind the framework. You will then learn about IDEs that support JSF, as well as libraries that facilitate JSF development, such as Struts Shale and Facelets. You will also learn about the current market for off-the-shelf user interface components, such as grids, menus, toolbars, trees, and tabbed panes.

On the last day, you will work on the integration of selected libraries and components with the sample application. We will examine different techniques for structuring JavaServer Faces (JSF) applications, paying attention to the consequences of each technique. You will learn how different IDEs approach JSF development, and how these may or may not work within your architectural constraints. We'll also examine the extension points within JSF, and how they can be leveraged to provide features such as security, alternate templating technology, and access to external resources.
