The Spring Experience (in 90 minutes)
Great Lakes Software Symposium
Chicago · November 17 - 19, 2006
About this Presentation
In this interactive session Ben walks you through the experience of building a simple Spring-powered application from the ground up.
You will learn how to use Spring to assemble an application system from a set of focused, loosely-coupled components. You'll see how Spring enables agile development by allowing you to start simple, validate architectural choices early, and scale up infrastructure as requirements demand.
Expect live coding with a supporting business case. This “big picture” session focuses on teaching how to get the most mileage out of the Spring Framework as you can.
Cloud Foundry Java Experience Engineer
Ben Hale leads Pivotal's efforts to constantly improve the Java experience on Cloud Foundry. Recently he has been working on the Cloud Foundry Java Buildpack with an eye to making it the best place to run Java applications, in the Cloud or otherwise.
Prior to working on Cloud Foundry, Ben worked on large-scale middleware management tools, tc Server, dm Server (OSGi), and Spring. If you go back far enough, he even worked on a network management and monitoring application, but will deny it when asked.
