What's new in Spring?
It was over 10 years ago that Spring hit the scene and made a big impact in the enterprise Java development ecosystem. Now that Spring 4.2 is available (and Spring 5 on the way), there's a lot of new features and a lot that you may not know about yet.
Spring Rebooted
In this session, we'll see how to build real Spring applications using Spring Boot. We'll also look under the covers to see what makes Spring Boot tick.
Efficient Client-Server Communication with Differential Synchronization
In this session, we'll look at a technique known as Differential Synchronization, building on top of HTTP PATCH and JSON Patch to enable efficient two-way conversation between clients and the servers they deal with.
