Join us for a presentation entitled "Introduction to Spring Batch" with Chris Schaefer.
In this presentation we will take a high level look at the Spring Batch project. This presentation is ideal for anybody who would like to get an introduction to the framework, its use cases and what it provides you as the developer to build robust batch jobs with minimal effort.
Chris Schaefer is a Principal Software Engineer working at Pivotal (the company behind the Spring Framework) on the Spring Batch team. He has been working in the systems and software industry for over 15 years. Chris currently resides in Venice, FL with his wife and cat.
