EclipseCon 2013
From 25th − 28th March 2013, the Eclipse community will meet in Boston (Massachusetts) for their annual conference. As a strategic member of the Eclipse Foundation, itemis will also showcase their latest technology at EclipseCon 2013. In a three-hour tutorial advanced Java developers will learn the development of their own domain specific languages (DSL). In other Sessions we present the newest features of the Java extension Xtend, a DSL for describing EMF models.
From March 25th - 28th 2013 the EclipseCon developing community is meeting in Boston, Massachusetts for their annual conference.
itemis, being among the bronze-sponsors, is pleased to contribute to the Worlds biggest Eclipse Community events' Succes through various lectures and workshops.
See http://www.eclipsecon.org/2013/program/session-schedule and http://www.eclipsecon.org/2013/program/session-schedule/tutorials for the current EclipseCon program with all sessions and tutorials.
We are looking forward to introducing you to our company's latest developments and services in person. You will find the itemis staff at exhibition stand 3.
