Eclipse Webinar Sep. 23: Simplifying Desktop Development with Glimmer

The Eclipse project Glimmer is a JRuby API for SWT that takes advantage of the expressive Ruby language to provide a simple user-interface DSL (domain-specific language). Developers can rely on Glimmer to build the presentation layer of desktop applications in Ruby while keeping the business logic in Java, or alternatively do complete desktop application development in Ruby. Glimmer comes with built-in data-binding support to greatly facilitate writing maintainable and testable desktop application code.

In an upcoming webinar, Andy Maleh will introduce Glimmer, demo the latest features by contrasting the code of an application written in both Glimmer and classic SWT, provide a quick update on the status of the project and finally, have a Q&A and feedback session.
