I went to the first Spring User Group Meeting here in Sydney. It turned out to be very popular and it was full house.
Rod Johnson was there and talked about the goal of POJO development, Dependency Injection (a form of Inversion of Control), AOP (Aspect Oriented programming) and portable, lightweight abstractions for core services. He also talked about the new features in Spring 2.0 and beyond.
One thing that Rod emphazised was the fact that configuration was often made very differently, even in the same projects and how much easier it would be if configuration was done in one agreed way from start. He did also talked about testing and how Spring let you make push objects instead of pull objects and thereby make it much easier to test and showed some examples. It was all very interesting and I am looking forward to next meeting in April.
