Dave Orme muses about agile and functional programming.
My current work emphasizes SOA applications using Scala, Kubernetes, and AWS with a React-based SPA front-end. I'm also interested in progressive web applications and developer tools.

In short, you can usually replace pages of SWT event handlers with a single line of code similar to the following:
dataBinding.bind(textWidget, new Property(personBean, "name"), null);
Many of you have heard that Eclipse's Visual Editor Project and JFace teams have been working together to define a data binding framework for all of Eclipse:
This is already available in preview form in the latest nightlies and milestones and it's progressing rapidly!
If this excites you and you want to know more, please vote for the two talks proposed about this exciting new framework for EclipseCon: http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=271 by yours truly, and: http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=89 by Boris Bokowski, a member of the JFace team.
I'm proposing to present a simple but real-world program based on my experience using data binding at a real large-scale Eclipse RCP consulting contract in which I am currently engaged. Boris is proposing a talk that gets into the nitty-gritty of the data binding API and how to extend it.
If you want to hear about this at EclipseCon, please vote today for one or both of these submissions!
