Develop Your First Java Application in 20 Minutes

CA Plex is an Architected RAD tool that uses patterns to accelerate the design, creation, and maintenance of software applications. This chapter provides an introduction to some of the innovative features of CA Plex.

In this chapter, you define a very simple project management application. The pattern libraries in CA Plex are used to streamline the process. The Panel Designer is used to make changes to a dialog. Before the end of this chapter, you will have the first part of the application up and running.
