Tutorial Overview

The Blueprint Container is a recent addition to the OSGi Service Platform, introduced with the V4.2 specification. It provides a simple programming model for creating dynamic applications within the OSGi environment, without adding complexity to the Java code. This tutorial provides an introduction to general Blueprint concepts, followed by a hands on introduction to using Blueprint via a guided set of examples. The aim of the tutorial is to leave attendees with a basic understanding of best practices and a base from which to develop their own Blueprint applications.

Pre Requisite Knowledge: To gain the most from the tutorial, attendees should be generally familiar with OSGi concepts, and the component oriented approach to programming with OSGi.

NB: Attendees must bring a laptop with them in order to participate in the tutorial.
