  Live Webinar: Introducing Spring Social with Craig Walls

Spring Social is an extension of the Spring Framework that enables applications to connect with Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers such as Facebook and Twitter and interact with those services on behalf of their users.

This webinar will introduce Spring Social essentials such as connecting to service providers and using Spring Social's API bindings. We'll also see how to add provider-based sign in and how to extend Spring Social's service provider support.

  RabbitMQ Now Available on Cloud Foundry  
  Spring and Grails apps on CloudFoundry.com can now leverage RabbitMQ as a Cloud Foundry service, accessed via the same vmc commands used for MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis. Using RabbitMQ gives developers great options for coordinating cloud-scale applications, for example enabling full text search in Grails on Cloud Foundry. For more details see the Spring tutorials (1 & 2) , sample application, AMQP client, and Grails tutorials (1 & 2).
