In this video Jared Rosoff from 10gen and Thomas Risberg from SpringSource show what the combination of MongoDB and Cloud Foundry has to offer to Spring developers. They develop a sample application combining MongoDB and the Spring Data project, and show how to build and deploy it to the cloud. After 60 minutes, you too will be ready to develop and deploy to the cloud your own Spring applications that use MongoDB.

SpringOne 2GX 2011 was a phenomenal event and thanks to InfoQ, if you were not able to attend in person you can still see much of the content. The first video is from the Opening Night Keynote with Adrian Colyer. Adrian recaps the core principles underlying Spring and then surveys the development progress in the Data, Mobile, Social and Platform-as-a-Service spaces. Adrian also invites Graeme Rocher up to the stage to provide an update on Grails development. Derek Collison also makes a guest appearance to demonstrate some of the great features available in Cloud Foundry.

In this new video interview from InfoQ, Spring expert, Costin Leau talks about Spring Data, caching, data grid architectures and work on a new Spring Hadoop project. This interview, filmed last month at JavaOne 2011, provides some great background to how the Spring team has been thinking about data and how the emerging new models of data access can be incorporated seamlessly into your Spring applications.

Costin talks about :

• Spring Data as an umbrella project
• Transaction capabilities in the world of noSQL
• Flexible caching integration in Spring
• The current development work on Spring Hadoop

Many thanks to InfoQ for taking the time to talk to the Spring experts and providing this outstanding interview to the community.

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 presentations by Craig Walls introduces Spring Social essentials such as connecting to service providers and using Spring Social's API bindings. Craig also describes how to add provider-based sign in and how to extend Spring Social's service provider support.
