Description:

This presentation will provide attendees with a "wet your appetite"
introduction to the Spring framework. While much of the popular buzz
around Spring focuses on using it as an alternative to EJB containers,
this presentation will actually highlight some practical ways in which
Spring can really complement traditional J2EE activities. In fact,
Spring's lightweight approach has blazed the trail for much of where
EJB 3.0 is heading. Examples will show how the Spring meta-framework
may be used in the J2EE space to architect solutions which exhibit
extremely loose coupling and an incredible degree of flexibility.
Emphasis will also be placed on Spring's contributions to agile/XP
practices such as test-driven development.

See you there!
