Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! You realize it's already May, 2023? Time's flying, way too quickly! I just got back from Bangalore, India, where I spoke at the amazing Great International Developer Summit, one of the all time best shows ever, and now I'm already gearing up to hit the road in May for a mini Spring Boot 3.1 European (and UK) tour! I'll be in Athens, Greece, for Devoxx GR (4-6 May); I'll be in London, UK, for Devoxx UK (10-12 May); I'll be in Barcelona, Spain, for Spring I/O (18-19 May); I'll be in Belgrade, Serbia (20-21 May) for ITKonekt. Then, it's home I go to see my daughter graduate High School and then I'm back on the road in June. (More on that later). Either way, if you're near any of those places, I'd love to connect! Come out and say hi!
