This, of course, isn't required today, but it's nice to know what the mechanism looks like, under the hood. Tobias Trelle is back with another installment of his series on Spring Data. This one, on Spring Data's MongoDB support, shows how easy it is to access a MongoDB data store from Spring. This introduction goes from 0-60 very quickly, starting with MongoDB's installation and the shell and then progressing to an application that uses Spring Data. Nice job, Tobias! Keep up the good work. The second webinar, Creating Spring Insight Plugins on February 16th, describes Spring Insight's…

We've got lots of exciting new content, and a lot of it is either videos or full texts that you can read, be sure to skim through this roundup and then find yourself a nice cozy chair to absorb the rest of it and enjoy! Good Relationships. Good Relationships is available as a free download from our friends at InfoQ. Michael, besides being a prolific coder (I'm still not convinced the man sleeps...), is a very good writer. He contributed the amazing content (not to mention the addon itself!) regarding the Spring Roo Neo4J addon to the book that co-author Steve Mayzak and I wrote about…

SpringOne 2GX 2011 was filled with great content on building better mobile and web applications. In this presentation, Mobile Web Development with HTML5, we get to learn about building compelling mobile applications with HTML5 and technologies like PhoneGap. This presentation is given by Spring Android lead and mobile expert Roy Clarkson and Spring Developer Advocate Josh Long. Roy and Josh introduce the innate capabilities of modern HTML 5 mobile browsers and introduce techniques and technologies like PhoneGap, a shell for web applications on mobile clients, and Jo, a widget framework, to…

By Jason Weathersby and Josh Long Developers use BIRT to build and deploy reports in a Java/Java EE environment. In BIRT 3.7, a new POJO-based runtime environment is available that makes deployment of the BIRT engine much simpler. This article discusses several BIRT integration scenarios that use components from the Spring Framework. The BIRT project includes the following key components: The Spring framework is a popular collection of architectural and implementation approaches that makes enterprise Java development easier. Core parts of this framework are Dependency Injection and Aspect…

SpringOne 2GX 2011 was filled with great content on building better web applications. In this presentation, The Rise of OAuth, we get to learn about using OAuth in our web applications. This presentation is given by Spring expert Craig Walls. Craig talks about securing the modern web and how OAuth can help with that, showing how to secure and consume resources with OAuth.

the Spring 3.1 webinar's recording on the SpringSource YouTube page. The next item is a video is one of my favorites. It's the second part of a two part talk that Ramnivas Laddad, Scott Andrews and Jennifer Hickey - all SpringSource heavyweights now also working on Cloud Foundry - gave at SpringOne 2GX 2011 on using Cloud Foundry with Spring. So, where is the first part? I'm not so sure. I hope InfoQ also got that video, as well, but either way this is a very useful video. And, they're a great testament to the value of the content created for SpringOne 2GX.
