According to most calendars, Spring doesn't start until March. But if you're talking about the Spring Framework, there's no need to wait that long. Thanks to No-Fluff/Just-Stuff and Interface 21, Spring's coming to Florida over three months earlier.
In case you've not heard yet, let me be the first to tell you about The Spring Experience. The Spring Experience is a Spring-only conference coming to Fort Lauderdale, December 7-10. This is a golden opportunity for you to meet and learn from all of the big names in Spring, including many of the key Spring team members and all of the Spring book authors.
I'll be there talking about how to build portlets using Spring's portlet MVC framework, how Spring can be used in a service-oriented environment, and how to build applications using a few of my favorite frameworks (Hibernate, Spring, Acegi, and Tapestry). And I'm looking forward to meeting and chatting with everyone who is making Spring so great.
I'm so excited to be a part of this awesome event. I've known about this since May and have had a real hard time keeping it under wraps.
What are you waiting for? Go immediately to The Spring Experience and register to go. I hope to see you there!
