Title: Thermostat for Developers Abstract: Thermostat has evolved a log way from being a specialised tool for performance monitoring and analysis of the JVM, first by encompassing a generic framework for performance analysis and data visualisation and now with the addition of a powerful and advanced new Platform infrastructure that also allow users to build completely standalone projects. The Platform offers a familiar environment that handles Model View and Controllers objects, presentation layer, threading models, visualisation and also special effects, and a new data architecture. In this presentation we will demonstrate how to build an application based on Thermostat in few simple steps and how to take advantage of the new architecture to build stunning and visually appealing applications.
