Spring conference time is in the air

Posted by: Craig Walls on 2009-10-14 08:00:00.0

As of today, it's one week until I present That old Spring magic has me in its SpEL: DI Wizardy with the Spring Expression Language at SpringOne/2GX.

I'm really excited about giving this talk. I've already presented it twice at two different No-Fluff/Just-Stuff shows, but I've had some opportunity to refine it and get it in tip-top shape for SpringOne/2GX. Even if you've heard it when I presented it in Boston or Minneapolis before, this time's going to be a bit different (and hopefully better).

The other thing I'm excited about is that this is the first SpringOne (or The Spring Experience) conference where I only have on presentation and I'm totally prepared for it well in advance. So, instead of skipping sessions to fix my slides and examples, I'll be able to enjoy the conference as an attendee. With all of that free time on my hands, you can count on me to blog and tweet what I hear and see. Keep an eye on this blog to experience SpringOne/2GX from my point of view.

Also, if you're not following me on Twitter already, here's your chance to get on my followers list before the conference. In addition to blogging, I'll be tweeting random bits here and there from both my springinaction and my modularjava Twitter identities. For you lucky folks who are both following me and are at SpringOne/2GX next week, you'll be given a handful of opportunities to pick up a few goodies...I'm going to tweet directions during the conference, so keep watch on my Twitter identities for details.

While I'm advertising all of the ways to follow my online identities, I should mention that I have Facebook pages for both Spring in Action and Modular Java. Sign up as a fan on those pages and maybe I'll toss some goodies your way, too.

Finally, if you're at SpringOne/2GX, I look forward to getting a chance to say "Hi". Even though I'm talking about SpEL, I'll be happy to chat with you about most anything Spring or OSGi oriented. See ya there!
