Webinar: Building “Bootful” UIs with Spring Boot and Vaadin

News | Pieter Humphrey | October 01, 2014 | ...

Speaker: Josh Long, Pivotal and Vaadin

It's been a long day, but you've done it: you've got a Spring Boot powered backend and now you need to build the UI that'll power the workforce and deliver next week. Vaadin, a UI framework that marries the ease of use of server-side Java and the rich, dynamic nature of client-side JavaScript, integrates well with Spring Boot and offers UI polish that would be hard to secure any other way. Join Spring developer advocate Josh Long and Vaadin evangelists for a look at how Vaadin and Spring Boot can get you to production quicker, and easier.

Webinar: Security for Microservices with Spring and OAuth2

News | Pieter Humphrey | October 01, 2014 | ...

Speaker: Dave Syer

Security for Microservices with Spring and OAuth2 OAuth2 is a lightweight security protocol that is well-suited for use with HTTP, the protocol at the heart of many modern architectures. Spring Security OAuth2 has a load of new features, not the least of which being the `@Configuration` support in version 2.0. Combine these with Spring Boot and you have a platform which can get you a secure HTTP service application in about 20 lines of code. This presentation shows how the combination of rapid development and production-ready features in the modern Spring stack are a perfect mixture for developing secure components in a system composed of microservices. We explore the new features in Spring OAuth2, guide you through the choice of which to use and when, and show how easy they are to enable quickly.

Webinar Replay: Process Driven Spring Applications with Activiti

News | Pieter Humphrey | September 26, 2014 | ...

Speakers: Josh Long and Joram Barrez, Activiti

Slides: https://speakerdeck.com/joshlong/process-driven-applications-with-spring-boot

Today's applications are complex, distributed systems that - taken together - produce results. Tracking the flow of work through that system, however, becomes increasingly more painful as automated- and human-driven tasks are integrated into business processes. Business can't react to what it can't see. Business can't measure what it can't see. "Workflow" describes the sequence of processes through which a piece of work passes from initiation to completion. Workflow systems, like Activiti, describe and then execute these processes. Activiti is an open-source, Apache 2-licensed workflow engine that works with Spring and Spring Boot. In this webinar, join Spring Developer Advocate Josh Long and Activiti-ninja Joram Barrez for a look at how to distill, describe and reuse complex business processes using Spring (and Spring Boot) and Activiti.

Webinar Replay: Why I Recommend Spring

News | Pieter Humphrey | September 26, 2014 | ...

Speaker: Michael Plod

Slides: https://speakerdeck.com/mploed/pivotal-webinar-why-do-i-recommend-spring

Is Spring the new legacy as quite a few people tell you on their blogs? I disagree on many levels. Throughout this session I will holistically detail without any polemics why I do recommend using the Spring Framework and its ecosystem. Aspects that will be covered include: operational impacts, ecosystem, coding and road maps. This presentation is aimed at IT managers, Architects and Developers alike.

Speaker: Derek Beauregard Contributors: Phil Berman, Darrel Sharpe, Michael Minella In this demo we will explore the power of Spring XD in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT). We will look at a solution developed with Spring XD to stream real time analytics from a moving car using open standards. Ingestion of the real time data (location, speed, engine diagnostics, etc), analyzing it to provide highly accurate MPG and vehicle range prediction, as well as providing real time dashboards will all be covered. Watch this demo to get a sense of how Spring XD can serve as a critical…

This Week in Spring - Tuesday September 23rd, 2014

Engineering | Josh Long | September 23, 2014 | ...

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This morning, I had the joy of presenting with my pal Joram Barrez on using the Activiti BPMN workflow engine with Spring (and Spring Boot). That talk should be online in the next few weeks or so. I'll also be co-presenting with Joram this week at the Alfresco Summit (on the very same topic). If you missed SpringOne2GX 2014, check out the Day 1 and Day 2 wrap ups where can learn about NetFlix, Spring Boot and microservice architecture, among many other things.

  1. The replay of the webinar talk that I gave last week, Bootiful Microservices with Spring Boot (and Spring Cloud), is now available online. This talk - because of Boot and the subject matter - got a lot of attention and so this was actually available online within a few days (not the usual week or two) of my having presented it! Enjoy!

Webinar Replay: Building "Bootiful" Microservices with Spring Boot

News | Pieter Humphrey | September 17, 2014 | ...

Speaker: Josh Long

Slides: https://speakerdeck.com/joshlong/building-bootiful-microservices-with-spring-boot

Microservices? A thing? Or hype? What does it mean in practice? The answer, like so many Facebook statuses, is complicated. In broad strokes, Microservices offer a refreshed approach to application architecture. Microservices are a new way to describe many of the patterns that have fallen out of large-scale applications in practice over the recent years. There is no doubt that the approach works. The question is: how does one build a microservice architecture? Join Josh Long for this webinar introducing Spring's support for building microservice architectures, including both Spring Boot, and the new Spring Cloud project.
