The Spring Experience (in 90 minutes)

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.
