Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's been another crazy wonderful week. This week I'm in London and Cambridge, UK visiting with customers and speaking (in particular, at the O'Reilly Software Architecture Conference) If you're about be sure to say hi! Now then, let's get to it!
