Paul Zellweger and Jason Thompson of ArborWay Labs, on their automatic database application Studio.  [http://k-lug.org/File:ArborWayLabsJAN122017.pdf Handout / presentation outline]
 
 
ArborWay Labs presents a demonstration of its automatic relational technology or ART Studio
 
ArborWay Labs will present a live demonstration of its automated
relational technology system called the ART Studio. It is a proof of concept that
generates database applications automatically using context-sensitive interfaces that
guide designers through our step-by-step process. In the first half of our presentation,
we will explain how and why our technology breaks new ground with the RDBMS on the
white board. Next, we will build a small database application from a 5-table database
system that will be posted on our server. The audience will be encouraged to browse
and explore the “100 Best TV Episodes database” on their own personal computing
devices. This part of the demonstration will be limited to smart phones, tablets, and
laptops. Stay tuned for the launch of our smart watch database applications in the
Summer’17.
 
ArborWay Labs is a Rochester, MN based start-up that aims to change the way today’s
professionals build and distribute database applications. With ArborWay’s ART Studio,
database applications are generated by a design activity that automates the production
of SQL, object-relational mapping, and all code that was previously crafted by hand.
 
 
It is rumored Dennis may be having a birthday (and providing cupcakes), and ArborWay is providing two pizzas.
 


Also, K-LUG officer elections, and PCIG officer nominations.

Note: To request a wiki account, please join the mailing list and post a message.

We can use presentations for upcoming meetings, please see a list of ideas if you're willing but lacking a topic.


LUG News

We generally meet monthly for technical presentations (2nd Thursday of the month, 6 pm, RCTC), and monthly for socializing (varies). We no longer meet monthly for lunches, if you are interested in reviving this tradition please contact an officer.

Did you used to be on our email list and suddenly haven't gotten email for months? We had a glitch and it caused many people to get unsubscribed; unfortunately Tina doesn't have a way of knowing who all we lost. Please use "Linux mailing list" on the left to get yourself re-added, sorry!
