Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring .

We are already almost done with January (which, honestly, shocks me. Where <EM>does</EM> the time go?)
</P> 
<OL> 
	<LI> Did you guys see last week's webinar introducing Spring 3.1 with Spring project lead, and VMWare/SpringSource Principal Engineer, Juergen Hoeller?  
       Last week's webinar was <EM>very</EM> well-attended, and represents the best turnout yet, by far, for all of the SpringSource webinars. So, thanks to all those who came, and, to the handful of people on earth that couldn't make it, don't worry! You can watch 

the Spring 3.1 webinar's recording on the SpringSource YouTube page…

In this video Juergen Hoeller, SpringSource Principal Engineer for the Spring Framework gives a guided tour of the newest features in the Spring 3.1 release. Juergen introduces Spring's new capabilities, including the environment abstraction, profiles, the updated Spring MVC framework, Hibernate 4 and Quartz 2 support, and much, much more.

Be sure to thumbs up the presentation if you find it useful and subscribe to the SpringSourceDev channel to receive updates about all the latest presentation recordings and screencasts.

SpringOne 2GX 2011 was filled with great cloud content. In this presentation we get to learn how to use services with Spring on Cloud Foundry. This presentation is given by Spring and Cloud Foundry experts, Ramnivas Laddad, Jennifer Hickey and Scott Andrews. Together they cover all the details you need to understand about connecting your application to cloud services including auto-reconfiguration, cloud namespace, profile support, Java configuration and external service support. This is a great explanation about why Cloud Foundry is the best cloud platform for running you Spring applications…

Yet another session from SpringOne 2GX 2011. This one gives instructions for how to get the most out of Spring and Google App Engine. Spring portability has given developers freedom of choice for applications servers and that now translates to a lot of freedom in choice of cloud platforms. This presentation is given by Chris Ramsdale, the Product Manager for Google App Engine and he covers a brief introduction to App Engine, how to use Spring, access to relation data in the cloud and gives tips for performance tweaks. This is a great introduction to using Spring on one of the many cloud…

Dear Spring Community,

We are pleased to announce the release of Spring Social 1.0.2 and Spring Social Twitter 1.0.2!

Spring Social is an extension of the Spring Framework that enables you to connect your Java applications to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers such as Facebook and Twitter.

These are primarily bug fix releases, but there are also a few small enhancements. Refer to the changelogs (Core | Twitter) for more details.

We're also excited to announce that Spring Social LinkedIn 1.0.0.M5 is now available and includes a more complete API binding. We are looking forward to your feedback as we bring Spring Social LinkedIn closer to a 1.0.0 GA release. (Thanks again to Robert Drysdale for contributing the Groups API binding, completing Spring Social's LinkedIn API binding!)

To get the software, download the release distribution (Core | Twitter) or simply add the maven artifacts to your project. To see it live, try out the quickstart and fire up the samples. Supplement as you go with information from the reference manual.

Spring Social requires Spring Framework 3.0.5 or > to run. We recommend Spring 3.1 for new applications to take advantage of the latest advances in the core framework. See the reference manual for a full description of dependencies.
