It's been 7 years since Spring 1.0 was released. In that time it has gone from a modest open-source project to being a de facto standard Java application framework. Now, as Spring enters its 8th year, it continues its attack on Java complexity, packed with many new features such as:

* First-class REST support
* A new expression language
* More options for annotation-driven bean wiring
* Bean profiles
* Declarative caching abstraction
* Enhanced Java-based configuration
* A new "c:" namespace
* Unified property management
* And much more

In this session, I'll lead a guided tour through the latest that Spring has to offer. Whether you're a Spring veteran or a Spring newbie, there will be something new for nearly everyone.
