Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm sunny summer-time San Francisco indulging in a little downtime. Last week was a doozy! I visited Tampa, Flordia; Paris, France; and finally Santiago, Dominican Republic. Later this week, after the 4th of July holiday here in the States, I'll head on over to Medellin, Columbia for JConf Columbia; Chicago, Illinois for the epic SpringOne Tour Chicago event; and then Lima, Peru for the JConf Peru event.

I'm so looking forward to a few weeks of fun talking to amazing developers around the globe. If you're around, as usual, don't hesitate to reach out to me on @starbuxman on Twitter.

We've got a ton of good stuff to get to this week so let's dive right in!
