About This Session
Alright, so maybe "bootiful" won't ever work, but I tried,
and it was worth it too because you're reading this. Spring Boot, the
new convention-over-configuration centric framework from the Spring
team at Pivotal, marries Spring's flexibility with conventional,
common sense defaults to make application development not just fly,
but pleasant! Join Spring developer advocate Josh Long for a look at
what Spring Boot is, why it's turning heads, why you should consider
it for your next application (REST, web, batch, big-data, integration,
whatever!) and how to get started.
