Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! I've just arrived in beautiful Berlin, Germany, for the forthcoming We Are Developers show with more than five thousand attendees. I was in Toronto, Canada, for the epic SpringOne Tour installment there. I've also had the privilege of taking these last two trips with my daughter, Kimly. She's on summer break from school. It's made the long miserable hours in economy bearable, and something for which I couldn't be more grateful. I'm also looking forward to being at the upcoming SpringOne Tour installment in New York City, later this month. Don't miss it!

In the meantime, we've got a ton of good stuff to get to this week so let's dive right in!
