You want to know more about the framework behind CATS, the soccer betting tool which just won the W-Jax developer challenge? Take a look on a video which presents the advantages of Canoo’s RIA technology in a nutshell:

LATEST NEWS: Canoo Engineering AG just won this year’s W-JAX developer challenge with it’s online betting tool for the soccer world cup 2010 (Canoo Tippspiel >> CATS)!

.

The task of the W-JAX  Challenge was to develop a web app for betting on the 2010 FIFA world cup with a good looking UI, a strong and stable backend and some innovative usability features. The only restriction was that the framework should be running on the JVM. The winner was elected by the conference audience.

CATS is based on UltraLightClient, Canoo’s proven widget toolkit and framework for creating Rich Internet Applications in Java. The core idea of UltraLightClient is to run applications on a centrally controlled application server, like HTML based applications. Only an application-independent Presentation Engine runs on the desktop. Read more on Wikipedia!

Groovy&Grails roundtable discussion

.

Interesting  discussions around Groovy&Grails were taking off at yesterday’s W-Jax ballroom. Surrounded  by Scala- and JRuby
roundtables,  some ‘keepers of the Grail’ assembled at the Groovy&Grails table. Topics as GPars, MetaProgramming, maintenance and practical experiences in projects were debated literally ’till the end of the night and commented by experts like Vaclav Pech or Dierk König. After 3 hours of vibrant discussions, the Groovy&Grails table was the last to be cleared.

Ted Neward’s talk about the Scala language took place Wednesday morning.

Ted Neward (2008)

.
His goal was to encapsulate the details of the Twitter API and allow the functional programmatic approch to Twitter.
The Scitter should come up with a java client library. This allows any other language such as Groovy to use the API.

After presenting several Slide about his goals, he switched over to Scala source code. As Ted initially mentioned he
intended to show only enough Scala as required to fullfill the goals of writing a Scala Twitter Client library.

The Summary of this talk was:

• the example he showed was far beyond that what I expected. Going through lines and lines of code at a Session is not funny.
• The session did not meet my expectations what I’ve read in the sessions’ abstract.
