Event Overview
Spring Connect brings top Spring Advocates to Cincinnati. The Spring technology stack powers some of the most demanding, mission-critical enterprise and consumer-scale web workloads in today’s world. At this one day event, you will join users of Spring - Spring Framework, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Spring Data, Spring Batch, Spring Integration, Spring Cloud Data Flow, Spring Security, Spring MVC, Spring Web Flow and more. You'll also learn about both traditional and modern, Cloud-Native Java from the source.
We will also apply these learnings by providing the opportunity for actual hands-on development by Pair Programming with Spring and Customer team members to build a Spring application and deploy to Production! We will have Pairing Stations in the afternoon in ½ hour increments where you will learn Spring Cloud-Native development, TDD, CI/CD, and enjoy the magic of the one button “push to production” experience!
When not participating in the pairing session, you will get to experience valuable facetime with expert Pivotal speakers Nate Schutta, Mario Gray, and Mark Heckler, as they discuss Spring and facets of modern application development during the Pivotal Conversations session. Pivotal Conversations is a simple meeting format where attendees will break into smaller groups and have candid conversations about topics that our speakers have composed, based on the talks they gave earlier in the day.
Space is limited so please register today as well as confirming your participation in the afternoon Pairing Station session.
