May 2014 Meeting Reminder
This is a reminder that our May meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday, May 20th! Come see how your JEE-based applications can benefit running on a PaaS such as easy deployment, configurable request routing, and resource scaling, etc.  Joshua Davis (Pivotal) will discuss Cloud Foundry, the Open Source Platform as a Service (PaaS) that powers many commercial public and on-premise cloud offerings.  Join us to learn how you can take your current JEE-based app an migrate to the Cloud Foundry open PaaS.

RSVP - Go to http://tampajug-may2014.eventbrite.com to let us know if you will be joining us.
NOTE: The meeting will be on Tues May 20 at KForce headquarters, in Ybor City.

From JEE to Cloud Foundry:
A PaaS Journey
This session will go through the concept behind Platform As A Service (PAAS) and how Cloud Foundry works to make Java Development faster and more productive.  We will walk through developing an application and show the differences and advantages to using Cloud Foundry over other approaches.  In addition the session will show the pre-requisites for using Cloud Foundry, and the steps to convert a JEE application built with JMS into one that can be enabled on the cloud.
