Subject: Flexibility to the Max: Data-Driving and Scripting Applications
As database application developers, we're used to storing application data in tables. However, another use for tables is to store information about application behavior. This session will look at how data-driving key pieces of your applications can make them more flexible and more maintainable. In addition, we'll examine how to make your application scriptable so advanced users can customize its behavior.
