We are getting excited about the Spring Portlet MVC Seminars coming up this Sunday at the JA-SIG Conference – we hope you are too. We have a lot of great material we are planning to cover during these sessions and we think you will really enjoy it. We are planning to do a fair amount of practical demonstration with real source code. While we won't necessarily be doing full programming exercises during the seminars (simply due to time constraints) we do want you to get to work with the code samples on your own machines. This will include editing, compiling, deploying, testing, and using the code yourselves.

If you aren't already fairly familiar with both JSR 168 Portlets and with the Spring Framework, it will be helpful to do a bit of reading ahead of time build up the context for the material in these seminars. Here are some suggested reading items to get up to speed on these topics:
JSR-168 Portlets:
- Introduction to JSR 168 - The Portlet Specification from Sun
- The JSR 168 Portlet FAQ at java.net
Spring Framework:
- Inversion of Control Containers and the Dependency Injection Pattern by Martin Fowler
- Introduction to the Spring Framework by Rod Johnson
- The Spring Framework Reference Documentation: Chapter 1. Introduction
Okay, that's a lot to do before Sunday, but as the old saying goes, "the more you put into it, the more you'll get out of it."
