Ross Mason, Founder and CTO of MuleSoft, is our speaker for this evening.
The Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) has become synonymous with integration. While the ESB grew from the needs of enterprise integration, the landscape has changed and not every project that needs integration needs an ESB. Increasingly, web application developers need to integrate with both public and enterprise services. This has evolved to the point where the presentation/logic/data tier model is limited since applications need to be connected to other applications and services.
This talk will provide insights about when to select an ESB, and when not to. We will also look at other alternatives for integration such as Web and REST services, and other frameworks.

Speaker Bio
Prior to founding MuleSource (now MuleSoft), Ross Mason was Chief Executive Officer of SymphonySoft Limited, an EU-based company providing services and support for large-scale integration projects.
Previously, Ross was Lead Architect for RaboBank and played a key role in developing one of the first large-scale ESB implementations in 2002. He has also worked with NatWest Bank, Credit Suisse and UBS.
Ross founded the open source Mule® project in 2003. Frustrated by integration "donkey work," he set out to create a new platform that emphasized ease of development and re-use of components. He started the Mule project to bring a modern approach, one of assembly, rather than repetitive coding, to developers worldwide.
Ross holds a BS (Hons) in Computer Science from Bristol, UK.
