March Spring Dallas User Group Meeting - Third time’s a charm: What’s new in Spring 3.0 by Craig Walls

After taking a few months off the Spring User’s Group is back.

When: Wednesday March 17th, 2010 at 6:30pm

TOPIC:  Third time’s a charm: What’s new in Spring 3.0 by Craig Walls
Abstract: In this session, I’ll lead a guided tour through the latest that Spring has to offer. Whether you’re a Spring veteran or a Spring newbie, there will be something new for nearly everyone.

It’s been just over 5 years since Spring 1.0 was released. In that time it has gone from a modest open-source project to being a de facto standard Java application framework. Now, as Spring enters its 6th year, it continues its attack on Java complexity with Spring 3.0, packed with many new features such as:

  • First-class REST support
  • A new expression language
  • More options for annotation-driven bean wiring
  • And much more

In this session, I’ll lead a guided tour through the latest that Spring has to offer. Whether you’re a Spring veteran or a Spring newbie, there will be something new for nearly everyone.

Bio: Craig Walls has been professionally developing software for over 15 years (and longer than that for the pure geekiness of it). He is a Principal Consultant with Improving Enterprises in Dallas, TX and is the author of Modular Java (published by Pragmatic Bookshelf) and Spring in Action and XDoclet in Action (both published by Manning). He’s a zealous promoter of the Spring Framework, speaking frequently at local user groups and conferences and writing about Spring and OSGi on his blog. When he’s not slinging code, Craig spends as much time as he can with his wife, two daughters, 6 birds and 2 dogs.

Sponsor: Improving Enterprises - As proponents of Blue Ocean Strategy, Improving Enterprises challenges the basic assumptions of traditional technology service models, to create innovative solutions that provide sustainable and meaningful value to our customers. We have three flagship offerings: Rural Sourcing is a low risk, high value alternative to offshore. Certified Consulting challenges the traditional values of staffing companies by providing unconditional guarantees, measured quality, and detailed professional files. And, our Applied Training does not end in the classroom. We bridge the gap between training and application, by providing onsite, individual coaching to each of our publicly enrolled students.
