Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm in Antwerp, Belgium for the epic Devoxx event. I was in Singapore for Devoxx Belgium 2018, and so I missed this event. I am so happy to be here this year.

I finished a "deep dive" session this morning with an amazing crowd of people who hung out with me for 3 hours to talk about Reactive Spring. I've got two more one-hour talks on Thursday, "Bootiful Testing," and "Bootiful Kotlin." I'm so looking forward to seeing everyone for those talks as well.

We've got a ton of things to get to this week so let's!
