Do you spend tiring hours trying to setup the project, set up the frameworks, procure servers, write deployment scripts and haggle with IT to get your app deployed, before a customer can see it. Wouldn't it be awesome to develop rapidly and get your idea in front of the customer as quickly as you can to get their feedback and iterate. Isn't that the promise of agile development ? Rapid application development frameworks such as Spring Roo and Platform as a Service solutions such a Heroku make it possible to build and deploy apps in minutes . In this presentation we will develop a sample web application from scratch and make it accessible to the external world.
