CA Gen in the Clouds…

…is a session being held at EDGEucate 2009 in Plano, Texas, USA between 28th and 30th October. Even though I can’t be there in person, it will be fascinating to understand what CA Gen can do here.

In the post “Cloud Computing” I wondered if, and indeed, how, CA Gen could be used to deploy into a cloud infrastructure, since CA Gen’s major benefit is “Write Once, Deploy Many”, this could be “Write Once, Deploy Many (oh- and into a cloud as well)” -  this may well give me the answer.

Leveraging all of what’s been written in CA Gen over the years into a cloud would seal it as “probably the best development tool in the world”. I’m not sure what other development tools could take one piece of code and use it one a mainframe batch environment, through client/server, through Java, through to a cloud deployment.

My supposition is that it could be deployed into a cloud using an extention of the component-based-development features that it already has, simply wrapping up the component in a custom framework – we shall wait and see.
