Activiti

My good friend Josh Long did an interview with me about Activiti and Business Process Management in general. I must admit, I was quite nervous before the recording, as I had never done a podcast before (note : the editors at SE radio did a really ... [More] great job ). Here’s the link: http://www.se-radio.net/2015/03/episode-223-joram-barrez-on-the-activiti-business-process-management-platform/ All feedback, as always, […] [Less]

My article “Getting started with Activiti and Spring Boot” has been published today on The Spring Blog: https://spring.io/blog/2015/03/08/getting-started-with-activiti-and-spring-boot It fills me with great pride to be published there. I’ve been a ... [More] fan of Spring for many years and believe that it houses many of the awesome developers in current Java-land. Anyway, please give the article […] [Less]

Our general manager (aka “my boss”), Paul Holmes-Higgin has noted down his thoughts about the past year about Activiti. You can read it here : Alfresco Activiti Shakes BPM World Adding my own personal thoughts: 2014 was awesome! We did *a lot* of work on Activiti. Countless of hours spent brainstorming and hacking away … but […]

I hardly post link to other blogs here, but I felt that this deserved more attention than a regular tweet: Future of Programming – Rise of the Scientific Programmer (and fall of the craftsman) Many of the ideas written there resonate very well with me and are similar to what I’ve been pondering about and […]

With the Activiti 5.17.0 release going out any minute now, one of the things we did was writing down documentation on how to use this release together with Spring Boot. If you missed it, me and my Spring friend Josh Long did a webinar a while ago about this. You can find the new docs already […]

Once every while, the question on how to create a pull request for Activiti is asked in our Forum. It isn’t hard to do, but specially for people that don’t know git it can be daunting. So, I created a short movie that shows you how easy it is and what you need to do […]

Last month, we’ve released our very first version of our cloud offering around Activiti. If you missed it, there’s a short press release here (scroll to section about Activiti). Doing it as a cloud-first release has provided us with very good feedback. Not only on the deployment and setup side, but also from partners and potential customers […]

A couple of weeks ago, there was a stir (again) about remote working and its succes and/or failure: it was reported that Reddit, the website where many people lose countless of hours, were forcing all their employees to move to SF. After a similar thing happened at Yahoo last year it made me think about why remote work is such […]

As I mentioned, I did a webinar on Spring Boot + Activiti last week (at 6 am …. yes, it hurt) with my good pal Josh Long. If you missed it, or want to see the awesomeness again, here’s the recording:   On a similar note, the webinar that Josh did before this one, on Spring […]

Next week, I’ll be doing a webinar together with my friend Josh Long (he’s a Spring Developer Advocate, committer to many open source projects and of course Activiti). I will show some of the new Activiti tooling we’ve been working on recently, while Josh will demonstrate with live coding how easy it is to use Activiti in Spring […]
