Developing Webapps Faster With Appfuse: Matt Raible

Matt Raible developed AppFuse to help developers create web applications faster using open source technologies like Spring, Hibernate, and Struts. AppFuse is a code generation tool that sets up the infrastructure and provides a starting point for a web application. It allows developers to focus on their application logic rather than dealing with configuration of the frameworks. The presentation demonstrated creating a sample Person object, database table, and data access object using AppFuse to persist data with Hibernate. Future enhancements to AppFuse could include support for additional MVC frameworks and IDE plugins.
