About the conference
GOTO Aarhus is the enterprise software development conference designed for team leads, architects, and project management and is organized by developers, for developers. As software developers and architects ourselves, we wanted to craft the ultimate conference. The result is a high quality conference experience where a tremendous amount of attention and investment has gone into having the best content on the most important topics presented by the leaders in our community, staged in an intimate environment needed to support as much learning and networking as possible.http://gotocon.com/

    Out of the framework, into the platform

    by Amit Shah

    Nice presentation. I had a question on one of the points which I didn't quite understand. While detailing on the architecture, a concept called "out of the framework and into the platform" is mentioned. I would appreciate if this could be explained again with an example. Thanks!
