Speaking at JUG-BB

I’m going to speak at the next Java User Group Berlin-Brandenburg meeting which is on Friday this week, February 27th, 2009.

The subject of my talk will be an introduction to BlazeDS, pretty much the same as the talk I gave at the Flex UG Hamburg meeting in January. I’ll add same more details on the Spring/BlazeDS integration as well as some more examples.
