Hi Spring fans, and happy holidays! I'm delighted to be joined again on this episode by my friend and fellow harbinger of doom (in the best possible way), Nate Schutta — co-author of the wonderful book Foundations of Software Engineering!

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring. By mistake, I inadvertently published older content in this installment, then tried to fix it and ended up re-publishing the same content. And, what's worse, I somehow ended up deleting the draft I had written for this installment — the one I intended to copy in to override the bad content. Ugh. A comedy of errors.

So, without any further ado, here finally is this week's roundup! this is…
