Eiffel Design Feast June-2011

(Redirected from Eiffel Design Feast 2011)


Announce

Design the next-generation Eiffel Web solution! The great 2011 Eiffel Design Feast: (Zurich, 25-26 June 2011.) The software of the future will, for a large part, run on the cloud. A superb Web application design framework is the hallmark of a great software environment. While Web solutions for Eiffel exist (ever since the first EiffelWeb library in 1994) the design of the ideal Eiffel Web solution remains in the future.

The future is June 25 and 26. We are holding an Eiffel Design Feast in Zurich on this date. The participants will, together, devise the next Web development framework, taking full advantage of Eiffel's strengths.

The Eiffel Design Feast will take place at ETH Zurich over two full days, just prior to the TOOLS conference week (http://tools.ethz.ch); the results will be presented at the Eiffel workshop on the next day (https://wiki.se.inf.ethz.ch/nec/bin/view/Main/ToolsWorkshop). Participation is free but participants are responsible for their own expenses (see the TOOLS pages for information about accommodation).

The Eiffel Design Feast is open to anyone with design experience, Web experience, Eiffel experience and a genuine desire to help build an outstanding open-source solution. A document describing an analysis of available choices and possible directions will be circulated to participants ahead of time to help start an effective discussion. We hope the event will result in clear design decisions, a solid architecture, and a blueprint for the rest of the development.

If you wish to showcase your design skills and help shape the future, please write to designfeast@eiffel.com including a short description of your background including experience (Eiffel, Web framework design etc.) relevant to the Design Feast.
