Presentations
What's new in Spring
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.
Spring MVC Workshop
For as long as there has been a Spring Framework, there has been Spring MVC, a web framework built around the principals of Spring. Although it was originally designed around a deep hierarchy of controller classes and focused on HTML-oriented views, Spring MVC has evolved in the past few years to embrace an annotation-oriented model and RESTful web development.

NoXML: Spring for XML-Haters

Introducing Spring Roo: From Zero to Working Spring Application in Record Time
In this example-driven session we'll see how to swiftly develop Spring applications using Spring Roo. We'll start with an empty directory and quickly work our way up to a fully functioning web application. You'll see how Roo handles a lot of heavy-lifting that you'd normally have to do yourself when working with Spring. And we'll stop at a few scenic points along the way to see how Roo accomplishes some of its magic.

Building Social Web Applications
Do you know what your application's users are doing when they're not using your application? Odds are good that they're spending time on Facebook, Twitter, or any of the other social network sites that are so prevalent today. If only your application could somehow go with them into those sites, adding value to their experience in both places.
