SpringSource and Comtaste have organized a free event where the new Spring 3.0 will be presented for the very first time in Italy and the integration with Flex and BlazeDS will be explored (all the detailed info here).
The event has been scheduled on Monday, November 30, 2009 from 2:45 PM - 6:00 PM (GMT+01h). The location is the awesome Link Campus - University of Malta, via Nomentana, 335 - Rome, Italy 00162.
The agenda will see two different sessions presented by SpringSource and Comtaste:
Session 1 (english) - Spring 3.0 and the new REST support, Speaker: Rossen Stoyanchev (SpringSource)
One of the major new themes of Spring 3.0 is the support for REST in Spring MVC. This talk will investigate these features from the perspective of a web application developer and discuss them in the context of JAX-RS, the Java Standard for RESTfulWeb Services. If you're familiar with JAX-RS you can relate your knowledge to Spring MVC. If you're an existing Spring MVC user can learn about major developments in the areas of data binding, validation, and type conversion as well as how Spring MVC compares to JAX-RS, a topic that's likely to come up in your organization.
Session 2 (in lingua italiana) - Integrare Spring con Flex 3, Speaker: Marco Casario (Comtaste)
SpringSource announced Spring BlazeDS Integration, a new open source project to provide tight integration between Spring and Adobe BlazeDS, Adobe’s open source server-based Java remoting and Web messaging technology.
This open source project will make it easy for Java and Spring developers to create enterprise-class rich Internet applications (RIAs) using Adobe Flex software, a cornerstone of the Adobe Flash Platform, and Spring, the de facto standard for enterprise Java.
