SpringOne2GX Day 3 and conference wrap up

Our SpringOne 2GX conference in Washington concluded on Day 3. Sessions were played out to rapt audiences in packed rooms with far more time spent showing code than slides. The audience loved the show, and we demonstrated beyond any doubt exactly where the leadership is in enterprise application development today. I wish that all of you could have been there to see it. The quality of the content this year was outstanding. Sessions have been recorded on video and captured in HD, and as soon as they become available I encourage everyone to mine the content, this will be a great resource for the Sprign Community.

A central theme at the conference was "The New Application Architecture(s)". We walked attendees all the way through the stack from how to structure smart client apps, to building RESTful APIs in Spring, techniques for dealing with push and websockets, scaling worker processes, dealing with modern data and integration challenges, and building distributed systems that span multiple clouds/regions/AZs. We showed that Spring is more relevant than ever before as the industry goes through this change. I encourage anyone that didn't see the Tuesday night keynote live to take the time out to watch the recording when it becomes available as this is a story that we should all be able to tell. Mark Pollack's section in the opening night keynote completes the story by filling in the data part.

Amongst many other highlights, Jon Brisbin's rest-shell and the Spring Hateoas project also took the conference by storm. Don't be surprised if you find people asking you about them over the coming weeks. Also, and Ryan Vanderwerf have posted a wonderful summaries of the conference that shouldn't be missed.

Thank you once again to everyone involved in making this conference the best SpringOne2GX yet!
