About this Presentation
Summary: A three-hour, two-part workshop on building modern web applications with the Spring stack.
Detail:
In part I, Keith will first provide a brief overview of what Spring offers web application developers.
Then, from the ground up, he will take attendees through the process of designing and implementing a web application with the framework.
Attendees will not only learn the Spring feature set, they will learn to apply the features effectively.
Whether you are new to Spring, or an experienced Java developer who has used Spring before, this workshop will help you grow as an application developer.
Part I topics covered:
Spring Framework v3, MVC, “Open Web” stack of HTML/CSS/JavaScript, JSON, REST & resource-oriented architecture, progressive enhancement, best-of-breed development tools

Attendees will complete the session with a broad understanding of using Spring to solve enterprise integration problems.
Part II topics covered:
Spring Integration, Ajax Polling/Comet, Spring Security, Open ID-based authentication, Common Enterprise Integration Patterns, best-of-breed development tools
