Tutorial: Hands on TMQL

Sven_krosse


Abstract: The main problem of modern applications and technologies are the overhead of information. In the context of web 2.0 this problem gains a high priority during the process of development and designing. The high level query language TMQL is the best way to solve this problem. TMQL provides the best opportunity to create different views of the same data base. The benefits are a higher abstraction of the program logic and the high level of control over the business process.

This tutorial is part oft the session Tutorials at the TMRA 2009 conference.
