Rabbit & Pork

Recently, the development team I belong to received two days of training on the Spring framework. It’s certain now that our infrastructure stack will include Spring. I’ve gained some more insight into the framework, so am likely to update the Spring Start tutorial. It requires some tidy up and corrections anyway - when that’ll be, I’m not sure, as my first child is expected in the next 3 weeks.

The training was given by Rod Johnson himself. An interesting chap who has a unique style of teaching by writing code in front of your eyes (he obviously likes to write code). He also (almost obsessively) followed TDD - which was an eye opener for me, as I’d never actually seen a developer practice this in reality. But, having seen it for two days, I might have a go myself.
