Please join us at the 2008 International EGL Conference at the
IBM Forum Switzerland in Zurich on October 20th and 21st, 2008.
With the constantly growing technical complexity of building modern, flexible web based cross platform business applications, the industry demands a radical simplification of the programming paradigm. In response to this challenge earlier this year IBM launched EGL as the newest business language, a programming technology that will help IT organizations introduce innovation that extends and integrates their valuable business information assets.
This year's conference offers a variety of technical sessions, customer experiences, product demonstrations and a comprehensive view of the EGL Rich UI, the most innovative and productive technology in the industry for developing Web 2.0 applications.
Whether you are already an EGL user, or you are interested in modernizing and improving your application development capability, you will find this conference very valuable, with topics including rapid web application development, application modernization and transformation, unleashing the power of Ajax into the enterprise and the new Jazz based development collaboration solution from IBM Rational. This 1.5 day conference will be of great interest to any customer or business partner who is making strategic technology decisions and wants to understand IBM Rational's current and future solutions for simplification of business application development.
Throughout the conference, you will have the opportunity to gather and exchange information with peers, colleagues, IBM Business Partners and IBM Rational architects to learn more about specific topics of interest to you.
While there is
no charge to attend the user conference, attendees are responsible for their travel and living expenses. IBM will provide refreshments and lunch on the first day.

Hi Stefano,
I want to followup on a question that came up in the Conference round table session. There was question about creating new transformation from models into EGL code. There is of course an existing UML to EGL transform that can be used.
For EGL users that are interested in creating custom transforms (similar to the tooling built by Costaisa to enable the creation of their EGL framework) Rational Services has an education offering that presents the needed background.
