I’m promise last week to write about the Spring framework the last version 3.0, base on the NYC’s java meet up talk by Mark Pollack who is a Springsource insider. But looking my notes and the website I found a blog entry from Juergen Hollen, another SpringSource fellow that can give us an overview about Spring Framework 3.0 in a more detailed way.
I hate to write things that wouldn’t create new ideas to the community, so if you want to know what’s new on Spring 3.0, check the official Springsource entry HERE, and even better give these new features a try. I’m doing some tests with the REST support, it’s really simple but I have the feeling that its more oriented to Spring MVC users than a separate module inside Spring.
In my opinion, knowing Spring it’s a valuable tool for Java (and .NET) developers, the framework can help you to reduce development time and complexity, gives you more control over configuration (annotations over xml files) and surely it will give an advantage when you look for a new position.
In other news, Amazon have a new Kindle development program, I’m still not sure what type of applications could be potentially successful for the device, even I don’t have kindle (yet?). But it’s worthy to give it a try; I’m start seeing a lot of kindles in the NYC subway lately.
