Activiti & Drools in Action

Last week I gave a talk about Activiti and Drools in Action at the WJAX in Munic, Germany, which is one of the largest and most important Java conferences in Germany.

More than 80 people in a totally crowded room showed how hot this topic must be :-) The whole stack allowed me to create an application using the Activiti Process Engine, JSF, CDI, JPA, EJB and the Drools Rule Engine in the train ride from Berlin to Munic, the required code is really pretty small. Today I uploaded a cast of the whole talk (but in German) and want to provide the link to the sources.

Trotz dem ich gesundheitlich etwas angeschlagen war, haben wir das Ganze noch ganz gut geschaukelt. Mit ca. 60 Leuten war die Kapazität des Vortragsraumes auch ausgelastet, Gerüchten zufolge wären auch gerne noch mehr gekommen.
