Building "Bootiful" Applications with Spring Boot Abstract
Alright, so maybe "bootiful" won't ever work, but I tried, and it was worth it too because you're reading this. Spring Boot, the new convention-over-configuration centric framework from the Spring team at Pivotal, marries Spring's flexibility with conventional, common sense defaults to make application development not just fly, but pleasant!
Join Spring developer advocate Josh Long (@starbuxman) for a look at what Spring Boot is, why it's turning heads (at the likes of Netflix and Ticketmaster), why you should consider it for your next application (REST, web, batch, big-data, integration, whatever!) and how to get started.
Attendees will emerge having learnt:
• how to get started with Spring Boot ("Bootcamp"! that will *never* get old)
• how to interface with datastores like MongoDB
• how to standup a REST service
• how to handle web application templating and concerns
• how to operationalize your application (wouldn't it be nice to not get the stink eye from your ops team, just once?)
• how Spring Boot does its magic and how you can extend it
RSVP: Java folks (developers, architects, etc RSVP here)  Employees and Recruiters please contact Fred Bloom or David Templeman.
Parking / Directions:
• Park in the folly garage at 333 W11th (Parking is Free).
• You will need to go to the lobby & walk across the street to the 1055 building.
• Attendees will sign in with the guard and proceed to the 3rd floor conference center.
