Engineering | January 28, 2020 | ...

Hi, Spring fans! How're things, my friends? Can you believe we're already nearly at the end of January? I have been knee-deep in code and coffee for these last several days and I'm running late for a meeting so, without further ado, let's get to it!

Hi, Spring fans! It's 6 am Tuesday, January 21st, 2020, and I'm buckled in and ready to take off for Atlanta, Georgia (by way of Denver, Colorado...), where I'll be speaking at the Atlanta Java User Group tonight!

Hi, Spring fans! What a week! I have ... nothing... happening this week! You know why? I had jury duty for which I was summonsed in mid-2019. I had to postpone it since I was on the road.

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This is also the 9th anniversary of the This Week in Spring blog series. I started it the first Tuesday after the new year in January 2011. NINE years is a long time, and it's been - and continues to be - a ton of fun.

I've never missed an installment - every Tuesday for almost a decade, come heck or high water - I get this done. It's always on Tuesday, my time - whatever time that is. If I'm in Tokyo or Shanghai or Sydney then the installment may very well post sometime in most people's Monday, or if I'm in California or…

Hi, Spring fans! In this episode, Josh Long talks to the one, the only, the inimitable, the amazing, his hero, the good Dr. Dave Syer, Spring Framework committer, former Spring Batch lead, former Spring Security OAuth lead, co-founder of both Spring Boot and Spring Cloud, etc. Statistically, if you're using Spring today, you're probably using code he wrote.
