Spring eXchange 2014
Join us at The Spring eXchange in London on November 6-7th!
Thanks to the great input and ideas contributed by our community and the support of Dave Syer and others, we have been able to put together a program that rocks!
We're planning on three tracks over two days, covering Enterprise Java technologies, Big Data and Spring XD, Spring in Production, Spring IO, Spring Data, REST and Microservices: a whole range of Enterprise Java topics. There is a beginners track as well, for those just getting started. At the end of each day, we're providing a unique forum to explore ideas about these topics with hundreds of other members of the Spring and Java community during our ParkBench Panel discussions: this is an experience you won't get back at the office.
So if you'd like to spend the day learning all the newest tools and best practices in Java and Spring, to have meaningful conversations to help you write more powerful software, and to discover how to best deliver what your business needs, do come along!
Registration now open!
Would you like to join the world's top innovators and experts in Enterprise Java technologies, Big Data and Spring XD, Spring in Production, Spring IO, Spring Data, REST and Microservices? If your answer is yes, than get your ticket today!
Brilliant Minds on Stage
Featuring Dave Syer, Josh Long, Ben Hale, Russ Miles, Mark Pollack and other top experts in the Spring and Java community, this year will be the sixth anniversary of this cornerstone conference for the Spring and Java community - and it’ll be our best yet.
Expect to meet members of the GoPivotal Spring Framework team and to learn about the most comprehensive programming and configuration model for modern Java-based enterprise applications. Share your ideas with leading innovators in the Java movement: you can trust us to invite the best!
Fantastic Venue
After the success of last year, it was clear we needed a bigger venue for this year's Spring conference. So we have secured the BDC in Islington, where we will be able to accommodate London's sizeable and ever growing #springX community. With great spaces for talks and discussions, unrivalled technology capabilities and fantastic transport links in one of London's most buzzing areas, we could not think of a better venue to host this year's Spring eXchange.
Excited? Share it!

KEYNOTE
Spring is fun again and all the cool kids all want to play with it since Spring Boot hit the streets in 2013. Looking at this in the context of Spring IO and Spring Cloud, Dave will also cover recent updates to Foundation projects like Spring 4.1 and 4.2, Spring Batch 3.0, Spring Integration 4.1 and Spring Data Evans, plus Execution layer projects like Spring XD for Big Data and Grails for full-stack web applications. You will be surprised and pleased to see how easy it is to build applications and services and to glue them together into distributed systems, especially if you haven't used Spring, or haven't seen it recently.

In addition to that I will also give an overview of the JCache Specification and it’s adoption in the Spring ecosystem. Finally the presentation will also address various best practices for integrating various caching solutions into enterprise grade applications that don’t have the luxury of having „eventual consistency“ as a non-functional requirement. This talk comes with many live demos, some of them are demoed on a distributed cache cluster on Raspberry Pis and Lego Mindstorms robots (running Spring).

About the speaker...
Michael PlödMichael works as a Fellow for INNOQ. He has over 15 years of practical consulting experience in software development and architecture. His main areas of interest are currently Domain-driven Design, Event Sourcing, Microservices and presentation techniques for developers and architects. Michael is the author of the book “Hands-on Domain-driven Design — By Example” on Leanpub. |
This session will cover how to design micro-services as RESTful APIs and implement them with minimal code using Spring Boot. It will focus on API design using REST and HATEOAS, with live coding progressing all the way to a full-fledged app running in the cloud. |
From the “Distributed Monolith” to the ""Enteprise-OSGI-Application-Service-Bus”, this talk will take a tour of some of the nastiest anti-patterns in micro services, giving you the tools to not only avoid but slay these demons before they tie up your project in their own special brand of hell.

The many benefits of a RESTful architecture has made it the standard way in which to design web based APIs. For example, the principles of REST state that we should leverage standard HTTP verbs which helps to keep our APIs simple. Server components that are considered RESTFul should be stateless which help to ensure that they can easily scale. We can leverage caching to gain further performance and scalability benefits. However, the best practices of REST and security often seem to clash. How should a user be authenticated in a stateless application? How can a secured resource also support caching? Securing RESTful endpoints is further complicated by the the fact that security best practices evolve so rapidly. In this talk Rob will discuss how to properly secure your RESTful endpoints. Along the way we will explore some common pitfalls when applying security to RESTful APIs. Finally, we will see how the new features in Spring Security can greatly simplify securing your RESTful APIs. |
