Why SpringSource?

9 Confidential

73% percent of organizations surveyed said they either use Spring now or plan to use it within the next two years. Application developer productivity and reduced complexity stand

out as key reasons for using Spring in building enterprise applications.http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Application-Development/Survey-Spring-Framework-Adoption-Soars

Source code

The Java programming language is a high-level, object-oriented language.

The language is unusual because it is both compiled and interpreted.

Compilation translates Java code into an intermediate language called bytecode.

Bytecode is then interpreted by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for the the underlying operating system and hardware.

Java 101: the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) as a platform

21 Confidential

The JVM has also proven to be a robust platform for executing languages other than the Java programming language. For example, Groovy, Scala, and special implementations of Ruby and Python give developers

the versatility to program for the JVM in a dynamic or functional language.http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/newto/?ca=dgr-lnxw961New2Javadth-J&S_TACT=105AGX59&S_CMP=GRlnxw961

Frameworks contain some functionality or flow and calls your code to extend or make the flow a specific one. The principle of frameworks calling your code is known as Inversion of Control.

Groovy & Grails: Ruby on Rails for Java developers

26 Confidential

Grails is an advanced and innovative open source web application platform that delivers new levels of developer productivity by applying principles like Convention over Configuration.

Groovy is the leading open source dynamic language for the Java Virtual Machine that offers a flexible Java-like syntax that most Java developers can learn in matter of hours. Groovy provides features seen in other dynamic languages like Ruby, Python or Smalltalk.
