Recap: Spring Event
9 November 2008 in articles by Clara Ko
On September 5th we had our first event: Introduction to Spring. The evening started a bit late due to heavy traffic, so most people were late. But we welcomed 9 ladies and had a wonderful Spanish buffet with several warm dishes, some bread and salad, sponsored by SpringSource.
After everybody had enough food, Arjen Poutsma gave a very interesting presentation about what he thought were the main reasons to use Spring. The attendees gave a lot of feedback. We discussed various uses of Spring in enterprise application. All in all it was a very inspiring evening. In the end all attendees received a SpringSource shirt and a DZone refcard for Spring configuration, which incidentally, you can download at the DZone website. You can also download the refcard Spring Annotations, which is the more current way of configuring Spring applications.
