Davalen Meeting Request

Session Title

TECH-D13: Should I write my own Builder? Increase productivity by identifying and capturing repeatable design patterns within Web Experience Factory

Session Presenter:

Adam Kewley, Web Experience Factory Lead, Davalen

Description:

Writing efficient code in a modular fashion is a fundamental concept in developing quality software that must grow and change as business dictates. Capturing key components for reusability enables your developers to capitalize on shared knowledge through proper use of repeatable design patterns. This session is geared towards IT managers, architects and developers who wish to not only learn how to properly capture design patterns in IBM Web Experience Factory (WEF), but when to spot the need for such mechanisms. Utilizing existing techniques and features within WEF to generate your own library of repeatable functionality. Only available at the IBM Exceptional Web Experience conference, learn from a seasoned lead architect with applicable world-class practical knowledge.

Some topics covered will include:

• Breaking down code reuse: builders, models, ljo's (what is this...)
• Identifying reuse areas at a project level
• How to decide between a builder and a model
• Other areas of code reuse (data retrievers, LJO's services)
• Pitfalls to avoid

Session Title

TECH-D22: Where does Web Experience Factory fit in your Architecture? Proven Approaches for Best Success.

Session Presenter:

David Wade, Davalen’s Web Experience Factory Architect

Description:

Web Experience Factory (WEF) has matured as a framework and web and mobile solution development tool over the last several years. While the WEF design interface and services enable rapid custom development, too often implementation emphasis has focused more on speed versus how it fits into proper architecture.(The tendency is just start coding)! By its nature WEF allows for many levels of integration, but it still has to be structured in a way that fits proper design. This session is geared towards IT architects and developers and provides guidance to leverage WEF as a part of their overall architectural plan. We will discuss how WEF fits in various combinations of architecture. The goal will be to refer to best practices patterns, identify where WEF “fits” in your plan and to give you a head start on a successful use of WEF in your multichannel solutions.

Topics covered will include

• WEF in Architectural patterns
• A sample Navigation Pattern in the View
• Some Patterns for WEF page automation and profiling
• Starting and governing a WEF project including QA
• Integrating your unique developer skills with WEF
