				In this session you'll learn some of the more advanced features of Drools; a pure-Java Rule Engine. This session will walk through the construction of an advanced Rules application covering such topics as:&#xD;
&#xD;
- Fine control and monitoring of a Working Memory session&#xD;
- Using Decision Tables&#xD;
- Advanced Rule Language Features&#xD;
- Building Domain Specific Languages&#xD;
- Managing your Rules&#xD;

				Tapestry 5 is a complete rewrite of Tapestry from the ground up. It takes everything good about Tapestry and cranks the volume up to eleven, while removing the frustrating parts of using Tapestry. This session takes the wraps off this new and innovative technology, showing off important new features such as live class reloading (the ability to change your Java classes and continue using the application without interruption or redeployment), the simplified coding model, and the total lack of XML. This session is of interest to those already using Tapestry 4, and those new to Tapestry and ready to jump on the bandwagon.&#xD;
