Mendix Curriculum for Model-driven Application Delivery.

And the winning team is:

… Dennis Pallet and Allard Brand with their Mendix implementation of the “University Enrollment Case”.

Congratulations guys!! Well done! Below is an summary of the jury report:

The University enrollment case is the most complete project for several reasons. First of all, the project was correctly modeled; the project contains several validations, delete behaviour was set and they clearly used the Mendix Modeling conventions. The group was able to make use of webservices to streamline the enrollment process. Further, by calling a Java action, they made it possible to generate passwords given that it requires anonymous access. This realistic approach is supported by both admin interfaces and student interfaces. The group also worked out the idea of sending a welcome email to University’s new applicants. Most important, this University enrollment case reduces lots of manual work, processes are more efficient and the simple sign-up process is user friendly.

Mendix introduces an academic license program for universities, schools and research institutes to use Mendix software for educational purposes. The program offers students, teachers and researchers easy access to all Mendix software modules, tutorials, demonstrations and study materials.

Mendix provides the tools and methodology to dramatically accelerate the development of new business applications. The Mendix platform allows business analysts to represent business requirements using precise visual models, which become executable components, without the need to write (or test) code. The result is that the cooperation between business and IT is optimized.

Mendix CEO Derek Roos explains: “We believe that automation of business processes is to be done in close cooperation between business and IT. Unfortunately, most software simply is too technical to be used by business analysts. We are very pleased to offer innovative universities the right tools to ensure up to date education in the future of application development for business and IT students. As we see it, today’s business students are the developers of tomorrow. ”

Stockholm University and the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, are among the first institutions which have signed contract with Mendix to use the software for both education and research.

Paul Johannesson, Professor at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV) at Stockholm University (SU) and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) adds: “Mendix product are at the cutting edge of Model-driven IT development. Since the Model-driven architectures and model-driven development is becoming increasingly important, we look forward to offering Mendix products for both students and researchers at the department. ” Mendix introduceert academisch licentie programma

Mendix introduceert academisch licentie programma

Mendix introduceert een academische licentie programma om universiteiten, scholen en onderzoeksinstituten gebruik te laten maken van Mendix software voor educatieve doeleinden. Het programma biedt studenten, docenten en onderzoekers gemakkelijke toegang tot alle Mendix software modules, tutorials, demo’s en studiematerialen.

Mendix levert de tools en methodologie voor het dramatisch versnellen van de ontwikkeling van nieuwe zakelijke toepassingen. Uniek aan het Mendix product is dat de samenwerking tussen business en IT geoptimaliseerd wordt. De software stelt businessanalisten in staat om zakelijke vereisten visueel te modelleren en dus actief deel te nemen aan het ontwikkelingsproces.

Mendix CEO Derek Roos legt uit: “Wij geloven dat het automatiseren van bedrijfsprocessen moet worden gedaan in nauwe samenwerking tussen business en IT. Helaas is de meeste software simpelweg te technisch om te worden gebruikt door businessanalisten. We zijn dan ook erg blij om innovatieve universiteiten de juiste tools te verschaffen om bedrijfskunde- en informatica studenten te onderwijzen in de toekomst van applicatieontwikkeling. Zoals wij het zien, zijn de hedendaagse bedrijfskundestudenten de ontwikkelaars van morgen. ”

Stockholm University en het Royal Institute of Technology in Zweden behoren tot de eerste instellingen die een contract met Mendix hebben ondertekend om de software te gebruiken voor zowel onderwijs als onderzoeksdoeleinden.

Paul Johannesson, professor aan het Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV) aan de Universiteit van Stockholm (SU) en het Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) voegt toe: ” Het Mendix product is koploper op het gebied van Model-driven IT-ontwikkeling. Aangezien Model-driven architecturen en Model-driven ontwikkeling steeds belangrijker worden, kijken wij uit naar het aanbieden van Mendixproducten aan zowel studenten als onderzoekers van onze afdeling. “
