Java MVC Practice With Maven and Spring (A Tech Nerd Blog Post)

At the Iron Yard in Atlanta, the Java class was taught how to create MVC web applications.  Last night I practiced creating a Java web application using Spring framework and Maven.

Spring makes it a lot easier to write code for creating a database online and then interacting with that data via a client side browser.

Pivotal Labs who developed the Spring framework has a location right here in Atlanta and I plan on attending some of their events soon.

Many new software engineers praise newer technologies like Node.Js and Ruby on Rails, etc. but I'm enjoying Java just fine.  I do appreciate the fact that I was taught Node.JS as well.  Javascript is the language of the web and I use it in my daily work.  Pretty cool stuff.

As a developer, we must stay on top of all the changes in the coding landscape because change is happening constantly.  I'll post the final product to Github when I'm finished.
