I’m pleased to announce a two-day training course in basic Spring web application development to be held on March 13-14th, 2007. I’m writing and will be teching this course together with Joel Confino of Chariot Solutions. Joel is a Java EE architect and Spring enthusiast with lots of experience developing Java applications.

This training course is written FOR DEVELOPERS, BY DEVELOPERS. It is hands-on and interactive. You will be writing code!

Spring Kickstart is a two-day training course covering:

• The Spring Lightweight Container including the Bean Factory and Application Context
• Data access with JPA and the JDBC Template
• Transactions, AOP, and JMX: Adding powerful services to your POJOs
• Spring MVC (Model-View-Controller) framework for creating Web applications
• Third-party web framework integration using Struts and JSF
• Learn the many new features in the Spring Framework version 2.0

The format is approximately 50% lecture and 50% lab work. With 2 instructors, you’ll benefit from a low instructor-to-student ratio and be able to get your questions answered one-on-one.
