Age, for a webinar to discuss how developing enterprise business applications requires an agile approach and the right tooling to deliver high performing code and ease-of-development. The webinar will discuss the use of M2Spring, a combination of best-of-breed Model Driven technologies — MagicDraw UML and Blu Age Agile Model Transformation — for modeling and automatically generating 100% SOA applications within the Spring architecture.
The session will explain how the use of M2Spring tools can help improve Spring-based enterprise application development, by providing a high level UML modelling approach for structuring application business logic and simplified integration of Spring implementation, based on model-driven code generation. It will highlight the features of Spring and demonstrate how M2Spring tooling works with the Spring frameworks to generate and build business applications
