MVC on the server and on the client: how to integrate Spring MVC and Backbone.js
Speaker: Sebastiano Armeli-Battana -

MVC is a well-known pattern used to reduce complexity and to increase reusability of your code, widely adopted in server-side languages. Spring MVC is an example of a really powerful framework that adopts this pattern extensively allowing you to create easily RESTful web services. MVC can also be applied to the client now and this approach really suits AJAX applications and single page applications. Backbone.js is one of the frameworks available to enforce this pattern. In this session we will explore how well you can integrate Spring MVC and Backbone.js in a really performant and neat single page application. Focus will be put on how Backbone.js can consume RESTful web services.
