The weather forecast is predicting single digit temperatures around here by the end of the week. Luckily, on Wednesday I’m heading down to Florida to take part in The Spring Experience. My colleague, Michael Alford and I will be presenting on how Spring was leveraged in our next generation travel platform at Orbitz. I’ll be focusing on some of the challenges we faced at the UI layer and how we leveraged the Spring Framework to solve some of them.

From the conference agenda:

In this session, Michael Alford and Mark Meeker will describe the major business goals that drove the development of Orbitz Worldwide’s next generation online travel commerce platform, and how those goals were met with Spring and other technologies.

Last summer, Orbitz Worldwide released a new generation of its global technology platform with the goals of internationalization, white-label capability, and faster, streamlined development. Michael and Mark will describe the key challenges of this technology project and how those challenges were addressed, including the good, bad, and ugly of the Spring Framework and Spring Web Flow.

If you are going as well be sure to say hello.
