I respectfully disagree with Michael on this one. I think that there is a way to explain how to create a basic Red5 application in a simple manner that doesn't go into Spring and Java in detail. This is especially true now that we have added the server-side scripting capabilities. Perhaps we should focus on this way of development first.
I think that the API for Red5 can be confusing, but once you get the concepts it's really not that bad. And at any rate, I'm not sure that you need to know too much about Spring to build Red5 applications in Java. If one chooses they can hook up one main class via the configuration and do the rest without the IoC container. With this said, it's going to be a challenge though. And Michael even admitted that there should be a way to do it.
