It's been just over 5 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 6th year, it continues its attack on Java complexity with Spring 3.0, packed with many new features such as:

  * First-class REST support
  * A new expression language
  * More options for annotation-driven bean wiring
  * 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'll be something new for nearly everyone.
