Building Better Clients with Spring
Today's audience work with many screens on a day-to-day basis. In-browser based applications - be it Spring MVC-based, Flash-based, or GWT-based or some hybrid of three - are but one of the channels through which users expect to use their applications. Other options include mobile clients (Android, iPhone), thin clients (HTML5-based desktop-integrated applications, Adobe AIR clients), and, increasingly, TV platforms like Google TV.
In this talk, users will learn about the Spring framework's comprehensive multi-client story which includes its REST-services story, its client-specific rendering support, its BlazeDS and Flex support, and its mobile device support.
