They asked me yesterday. It was short notice, but I have a presentation that I have used before for a workshop. The presentation covers Spring templates, Springs IOC (including property editors), Spring transactions, interfacing with Hibernate via Spring. It should be fun. (I plan on attending the Tucson JUG next week. I am in town.)
Speaking at the Phoenix JUG on Spring Date: 01/12/2005, 6:30 PM Location: University of Advancing Computer Technology Keynote: Title: Introduction to Spring, AOP, and IoC Abstract: Spring is a popular AOP/IoC framework that was developed by Rod Johnson, Juergen Hoeller et al. Spring simplifies J2EE and Java development. (Rod Johnson is the famed author who wrote Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development.) Spring makes J2EE development easier. Spring is a J2EE framework that simplifies commons tasks and encourages good design based on programming to interfaces. Springs makes your application easier to configure and reduces the need for many J2EE design patterns (quite a few J2EE design patterns are really glorified hacks that clutter your code base). Spring puts the OO design back into your J2EE application. URL: http://www.arc-mind.com Speaker: Rick Hightower, CTO ArcMind Inc.
