Hi Spring fans! What a week! I'm in Seattle, Washington where I've been spending time with Pivotal partner Microsoft talking about all things Spring, Cloud Foundry and Azure, and then tonight I spoke at the Seattle Java User Group on Reactive Spring.
Tomorrow morning I'm off to jolie Montreal, Canada for the epic ConFoo conference. Are you going to be around? Say hi!.
Anyway, without further ado let's get to this week's roundup!
The JVM can be a complex beast. Thankfully, much of that complexity is under the hood, and we as application developers and deployers often don't have to worry about it too much.

Hi Spring fans! In this extra-long installment I talk with longtime friends and fellow developer advocates, Okta's Matt Raible and Google's James Ward. We talked about Java, Kotlin, Spring, cloud computing technologies, security, Go, paradigm changes, web frameworks past and present, Macromedia, Adobe, Scala, and a million more things! This was a ton of fun for me so I'm hoping you'll enjoy it too.

Years ago, if you were going to use the Spring Framework in your application, you had to be OK with a certain amount of configuration toil creeping into your day. But it wasn’t nice friendly configuration like, (ah, actually, sorry, I can’t think of an example…

It is derived from my Flight of the Flux talk, which content I found to be more adapted to a blog post format.
I'll update the table below with links when the other posts are published, but here is the planned content:
