spring-a-gram-catThings are rather intriguing. I am flying through the sky, in the clouds if you will, towards Dallas, Texas. This week is the fun filled SpringOne 2GX conference. As I fly through the clouds, I’m pushing updates to my app, in the cloud. 🙂 Another humorous fact is that I started this blog entry in the airport terminal, but delayed posting UNTIL I got on the plane, so I could access the WiFi.

Spring-a-Gram is my demo app used to demonstrate Spring Data REST. With it I will show just how quickly you can create a back end and shift your focus to the front end. The app is used to create images and then upload them through a RESTful service. I built a mobile web page so you can take pictures with your phone, upload them to a website, and view it from other locations. For fun, I threw in sharing via twitter.
