Intro to RESTful apps with Spring

Join Rossen Stoyanchev, Roy Clarkson, and Josh Long for this talk introducing how to build secure, smart client-facing applications with the latest mix of technologies, including HTML5, Spring MVC (with its first-class REST support and Spring Mobile), Spring Security OAuth, and Spring Android. If you've ever wondered how it all fits together, and how one approaches the development of a front-end application based on RESTful services, then this talk will help you.

Attendees will have the chance to watch and influence the iteration of an application on stage, going from concept to production quality code.

Extending Spring MVC with Spring Mobile and JavaScript

The modern web no longer is limited to desktop browsers. Smart phones and tablets have become an integral part of our daily lives. Web sites that may look good on a 22" monitor usually do not format and display well on a much smaller screen. Additionally, network speeds can limit the performance of a web site on mobile devices. Because of these reasons many developers and organizations are considering how to make their web sites accessible to all the various devices and screen sizes for which people are using. In this session, we will explore the functionality provided within the Spring Mobile project, and how you can use it to extend your Spring MVC application onto mobile and tablet devices. We'll then continue the discussion by demonstrating how you can leverage some of the popular mobile JavaScript frameworks in combination with Spring Mobile to provide a first class experience for your users on mobile devices.

Spring Project Infrastructure

Over the last year a number of significant changes have been made to the infrastructure and processes used within the Spring family of projects. In this presentation we will review these process changes and provide valuable insights into the tools that make it all possible. We will begin with providing a brief history, then move on to discuss the new tools being used, such as GitHub, Gradle, and Artifactory. Beyond describing the tools, we'll also illustrate how these new tools help facilitate our processes, including community contributions, release management, defect tracking, and more. Ultimately, this presentation will paint a larger picture of the development process for open source projects at Spring, and the various outlets available for community involvement.
