Description:

This workshop will get attendees set up and ready to do development of Rice applications on the laptops they bring with them. We will be installing and configuring Java Developer Kit, Maven, Eclipse, and MySQL. Our focus will be on Windows and OS-X.

Required: As an attendee, you need to have administrative privileges on the Windows/OS-X computer you are bringing to the pre-conference workshop.  Not having admin rights will cause you to be unable to participate hands on.

Hello World Program

From the past Install Fest and in general we get asked how to start developing a Rice client application.  For this session we would like to have a handout to provide simple instructions to create a hello world maintenance document.  The Claus's Workshop is designed to do this.  Step by step instructions are can be found on Google Drive. The code is hosted at GitHub. The step0 branch represents the state after the quickstart archetype has been completed. Step1 branch builds out a simple maintenance document (lookup, inquiry, maintain).  More steps are planned in the future but might not be done by this installfest.  The Kuali Blog might want to feature these instructions in the future as well.

Workshop Materials

The workshop materials are stored on the publicly accessible Kuali Days Rice Install Fest 2013 Google Drive . The following is the description of the content:
