The Dev Zone


The Dev Zones are intended for those who don't just wanna 'mash', but want to connect their mashups with a specific technology. Like Java or Ajax? Got Oracle or Salesforce.com? Working on an SOA effort, maybe using HP Systiner? The Dev Zones are quick roadmaps to the demos, videos, code samples, forums, Q&A and blogs that are about your subject.

Current Zones include:

* Mashups & SOA
* Mashups & Portals
* Mashups & Oracle
* Mashups & Ajax/RIA
* Mashups & Java
* Mashups & Sharepoint

Some of the Zones that are coming soon include:

* Mashups & Business Intelligence
* Mashups & Salesforce.com
* Mashups & SAP
* Mashups & Silverlight
* Mashups & Flex

If you don't see a Zone for your area of interest, send us a note (communitymanagers@jackbe.com) and we'll get one started for you! The complete running list of content for ALL Dev Zones is below.
