| Description |
Eclipse is a platform for building Rapid Application Development (RAD) environments.
The Eclipse framework is based on a plug-in model that enables software tool vendors
to plug in their own development tools. The platform provides a common user interface
model for working with tools. It is designed to run on multiple operating systems.
Plug-ins can be built using the Eclipse portable APIs and may run unchanged on any of the
supported operating systems.
This course teaches a set of advanced topics in Eclipse plug-in development.
This is a highly hands-on course, with programming labs constituting about
60% of the course. |
