Getting started with Spring Data and Distributed Database Grids
Alternative data persistence approaches are all the rage these days. Transitioning our skill sets and legacy applications to these new and promising technologies though can be problematic. Spring Data is an exciting solution to persistence proliferation. It brings the flexibility and familiarity of the Spring Framework and adds the concepts of Repositories which allow developers to write their programs to using familiar methods such as save, update, delete, and dynamic finders.
In this presentation we will introduce Spring Data for GemFire and how it leverages your existing Spring Framework skills to create generic Spring style interfaces which will make it more efficient to transition to distributed data grids such as GemFire.

When applications grow bigger, modularity becomes a key aspect regarding maintainability. Design decisions made in the early days are hardly discoverable in the codebase, inter-module dependencies grow a lot. The talk introduces means and approaches to connect logical architecture to the codebase. Beyond that we discuss patterns and best practices around general code organization, package structures to build a solid foundation for Java applications and in how far Spring can help creating loosely coupled components and dedicated points to extend applications.

We are pleased to announce the release of when.js 1.8.0.
When.js is cujojs’s lightweight Promises/A and when() implementation, derived from the async core of wire.js, cujojs’s IOC Container. It also provides several other useful Promise-related concepts, such as joining multiple promises, mapping and reducing collections of promises, and timed promises.
Among other things, this release includes an extensive set of adapters for working with existing callback-based APIs, including node-style async APIs, allowing you to effectively convert them into promise-aware functions. In addition, most of the new features in this release are community contributions, which is awesome. Keep it coming!
Some specific highlights include:
Adapters for promisifying existing callback-based code.
Mechanisms for generating and processing unbounded/infinite lists
We are pleased to announce the second milestone release of Spring Social 1.1.0!
Spring Social is an extension of the Spring Framework that enables you to connect your Java applications to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers such as Facebook and Twitter.
Along with Spring Social 1.1.0, we are also releasing second milestones for Spring Social Facebook 1.1.0 and Spring Social Twitter 1.1.0.
The main theme of milestone 2 is tighter integration with Spring Security, including a new SocialAuthenticationFilter to achieve sign-in-with-provider capability directly within the Spring Security filter chain.
In addition to Spring Security integration, these milestone releases also include:
Support for non-standard parameters in the OAuth authorization flows.
Interceptor capability in ProviderSignInController's flow to allow for custom behavior in authentication flow.
Support for paging in the Facebook API binding with "since" and "until" parameters.
Advanced search capabilities in the Twitter API binding.
Support for ticker symbol pseudo-entity in Twitter statuses.
These milestone releases also contain several smaller improvements and bug fixes.
To get the software, download the release distribution (Core | Facebook | Twitter).
As always, the Spring Social community has been awesome at providing feedback and contributing pull requests to make this release possible. Significant contributions in this release came from Stefan Fussenegger, who contributed much of the Spring Security integration code and Yuan Ji who provided feedback and refactoring help in that same set of code. Also, it seems that the Spring Social community has taken a keen interest in using Spring Social to build Facebook Canvas apps, which led to the creation of CanvasSignInController.
I'm happy to announce the release of Spring Social Twitter 1.0.3.RELEASE.
Spring Social is an extension of the Spring Framework that enables you to connect your Java applications to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers such as Facebook and Twitter.
This is an API-update release, bringing Spring Social Twitter's API binding up to date with version 1.1 of Twitter's API. Twitter has deprecated the 1.0 version of their API and will shut it down next month. It is recommended that if you are using Spring Social Twitter 1.0.2 or lower that you immediately upgrade to Spring Social Twitter 1.0.3 to avoid any disruption in functionality.
It is anticipated that this will be the last release of Spring Social Twitter in the 1.0.x series. Work on Spring Social 1.1.0 is well underway and is now at milestone 2 for the 1.1.0 release.
