Craig Walls has more info on the Spring in Action 2 release party on his blog. Check there for more info.

This month we are having a little party to go with the meeting. Craig Walls’ new book “Spring In Action 2” will be out and we are celebrating. From 6:30 to 7:00, we’ll have some pizza courtesy of Manning Publications and copies of the book available for purchase at NerdBooks. We’ll also have at least one drawing for a copy too.

After the party Craig will talk about Spring in general so if some folks at work are still wondering “What is this Spring you keep talking about?”, this is a great time for them to learn.

Hope to see you all there.
ABSTRACT:
Spring has been one of the most exciting frameworks to emerge in the past few years. With Spring you can decouple your application’s objects, enrich them with AOP, and apply transactional boundaries and security
to them declaratively. It simplifies data access, remoting, web services, and JMS. It comes with its own web framework. And, even though Spring eliminates much of the need for EJBs, it will still integrate nicely with any EJBs you may have lying around. What’s not to love? more…

BIO:
