Jitterbit Screencast Demonstration

Jitterbit is what I'd call an "end-user friendly" Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). Unlike other ESBs, such as Mule or Servicemix, it's really intended for end-users, not hard-core developers. More often then not, when vendors try to create end-user tools that have developer-type capabilities, the result are disappointing. Jitterbit does a good job at straddling the two, without sacrificing too much in terms of capabilities (obviously, it's not to be mistaken for BEA's AquaLogic or anything like that).

I created a little flash screencast that demonstrates how Jitterbit can be used in tandem with Adempiere, an open-source ERP application (it's a fork of Compiere). It illustrates how to run a database query from an Adempiere table, transform it into a CSV delimited text file, and then publish it to an FTP site. Hope you enjoy it!
