G&G Special Topics

At long last, Android applications are moving away from Ant or IDE builds. The new build mechanism is based on Gradle, the popular build tool from the Groovy ecosystem. This talk will introduce Gradle to Android developers and show how easy it is to integrate into Android projects.

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! As usual, we've got a lot to discuss so let's get to it!

Last week I was in Paris, France, for Devoxx, FR, and this week I'm in India for the Great Indian Developer Summit and for some meetings ahead of the conference in Bangalore and Hyderabad.

More Groovy Track

Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/runtime-metaprogrammingwithgroovy

The dynamic runtime nature of Groovy is one of the things that sets it apart from standard Java and makes it a fantastic language for building dynamic applications for the Java Platform. The metaprogramming capabilities offered by the language provide everything that an application development team needs to build systems that are far more capable than their all Java counterparts.

Dear Spring Community,

I'm pleased to announce the release of Spring Social Facebook 2.0.0.RC1. This release candidate brings Spring Social Facebook's API binding to target version 2.3 of Facebook's Graph API.

View the release notes here.

Be aware that due to many breaking changes in Facebook's Graph API between v1.0 and v2.0, plus additional changes up through v2.3, there are some necessary breaking changes in this version of Spring Social Facebook. Also, because of the large number of breaking changes already imposed upon Spring Social Facebook by changes in the Graph API, we decided to take…

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week, I'm off to Paris, France for Devoxx France. Many of us on the Spring and Cloud Foundry teams will be there, so don't hesitate to reach out if you're about, we'd love to hear from you!
