Eclipse Training Alliance with new Partners and Courses
itemis, ProSyst and SOPERA join the Eclipse Training Alliance
As an international expert network, the Eclipse Training Alliance pools the extensive Eclipse knowledge of its associate companies. With itemis, ProSyst and SOPERA as new partners the Eclipse Training Alliance now offers a total of 15 classes. itemis, one of Germany’s leading companies in the field of model-driven software development, offers classes on Eclipse Modeling (EMF, GMF) and model-driven development. OSGi and Java pioneer ProSyst offers embedded and enterprise OSGi training courses as well as Eclipse eRCP. At Eclipse Con 2009 ProSyst received two Eclipse Community Awards for their Equinox applications. A variety of classes on service oriented architectures (SOA) is offered by SOPERA, winner of the 2009 Open Source Business Award.
The Eclipse Training Alliance launched a new website which makes it easier to navigate through this wider choice of classes.

Webinar “First steps in RCP” on eclipse.org
Yesterday, I had the pleasure to present a webinar titled “First steps in RCP” on the Eclipse website. It gives a short overview over the architecture of Eclipse RCP, the bundle concept and views. It also contains some demonstrations covering these topics.
You can find a recording of the webinar here.
Article in Eclipse Magazin: “Spring meets OSGi and RCP – The power of three”?
The current issue of the German Eclipse Magazin (04.2008 Enterprise Eclipse) is featuring an article by our colleagues Alexander Thurow and Heiko Seeberger. The article is focusing on providing an introduction to the Spring Dynamic Modules library. Here is an excerpt from the article:
“Mit dem Zusammenrücken von Spring und OSGi durch Spring Dynamic Modules (DM) ergeben sich neue und vielversprechende Möglichkeiten für die Eclipse-RCP-Entwicklung. Im Kern definiert Spring DM dabei eine einfach zu nutzende Integrationsschicht für die Framework-Welten von Spring und OSGi. Aufsetzend auf dieser Schicht kann der Entwickler zukünftig mit deutlich weniger Aufwand flexible RCP-Applikationsarchitekturen erstellen.”
The interesting fact about Spring DM is that it really reduces the RCP developer’s coding effort quite radically when he wants to use Spring in his/her application. If you want to learn about this elegant and efficient way to use Spring in RCP applications you are hereby encouraged to take a look at the article!
New Eclipse RCP Training Series in 2008
Last fall we (WeigleWilczek aka the Eclipse Training Alliance) had a very successful RCP Training series in cooperation with the Eclipse Foundation. So we decided together with Ian Skerrett, Lynn Gayowski and other foundation members to repeat this good event. This year we will reach even more cities in Europe and the US (a total of 13 cities) and again we will offer our RCP course at greatly reduced prices. If you register before March 31 you will recieve an additional early birds discount.
The 4-day-classes aim on developers building Eclipse RCP applications and will help to understand the core RCP concepts and Eclipse plug-in architecture, SWT, JFace and other RCP components.
