Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! I went to Helsinki, Finland, last week, and this week I'm in Atlanta, Georgia, to speak at the Atlanta Java User Group. And, of course, next week, I'll be in New York to join a viewing party for the airing of SpringOne Essentials. You're going to join us, I trust? It's going to be awesome!

Look, it's Tuesday. Tuesdays are no fun. We're three solid days away from fun winter ski slopes from Friday. But that's OK because every day is a chance to learn. And this week's no exception: we've got a ton to look at it, so let's…

Hi, Spring fans! As I write this I'm on a plane winging my way to Helsinki, Finland. A new year and new journeys begin. It's going to be cold there. Wish me luck! Do you know what always warms me up?

Hi, Spring fans! Happy new year! It's 2023 already! Who saw that comin'? I sure didn't. This year promises to be more amazing than ever, and I can't wait to be a part of it.

And it's only possible because of you, dear community. Thank you. You, who have been consistently excellent every week of the year for years and years, are truly the reason for the season

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's 27 December as I write this and - being honest - I couldn't be happier. It's raining outside. I'm in a warm cozy office. Good music is playing. People are asleep in my home. I can hear the raindrops and wind outside the window. I'm at peace as I code. And code I have. I've been updating my blog, and a half dozen little side projects, to the new Spring Boot 3.
