Subject: FROST Fowler and PPJDG

FROST Group, I have two announcements:

    1)  A talk in Colorado Springs on October 25 by Martin Fowler,
        hosted by the Pikes Peak Chapter ACM and by Colorado Tech.

    2)  A talk by Kevin Minard and hosted by the Pikes Peak Java
        Development Group on Implementing MVC in a web-based
        application using JSP, XML, XSL and Servlets.


Martin Fowler is the author of <A 
HREF="http://www.bestwebprice.com/refactoring.htm">Refactoring</A>
and 
several other excellent texts, including one on UML whose title 
escapes me at the moment.  I will be passing out more information on 
him and on his talk soon.

Martin Fowler's talk will be at 5:00pm at Colorado Technical 
University on Wednesday October 25th.  Please plan on attending, I 
know you'll enjoy the talk.

This information on Kevin Minard's talk was passed to me by PPJDG.  
They are desirous of obtaining a head count, so if you believe you 
will attend, please respond to Greg Playle mailto:gplayle at rmi.net .


Title: Implementing MVC in a web-based application using JSP, 
XML, XSL and Servlets

Abstract: MVC is a design pattern that decouples views and 
models by establishing an abstraction layer between them. 
Applying MVC to web-based applications has additional 
benefits:

1.   Output can be customized for the interacting device 
     (Internet Explorer, Netscape, WAP Phone, Palm Pilot, ?)

2.   Presentation format (HTML, WML) and java code can be 
     neatly separated

In this presentation, I will discuss an architecture that 
uses JSP, XML, XSL and Servlets to implement MVC. In this 
architecture, Servlets play the role of the controller, JSPs 
and XSL play the role of the view and XML will play the role 
of the model.

This presentation will include a brief Power Point slide 
presentation as well as a sample implementation including 
code.


Bio:
Kevin Minard has been a Software Developer for over 8 years.
