The beauty of open source is that you can easily get your hands on it. Pick a component, download, install, modify and run it. With JBoss it’s no way different and gets even more simple
On Wednesday June 20, we have free virtual event focused on running EE applications on the Enterprise Application Platform in the cloud. Make sure to register your seat early.
Another good resource I discovered today is the “How to JBoss” feed. It offers an ongoing stream of examples, best practices and general development guides.
