This Week in Spring - October 10th, 2017

Engineering | Josh Long | October 10, 2017 | ...

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! By happy coincidence, today is also Ada Lovelace day. According to the Finding Ada site: Ada Lovelace Day (ALD) is an international celebration day of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). It aims to increase the profile of women in STEM and, in doing so, create new role models who will encourage more girls into STEM careers and support women already working in STEM. Happy Ada Lovelace day!

I've just returned from the epic ByteMyCode conference in Wroclaw, Poland, and am now in Seattle, Washington to talk to customers and to [hold an open event today at Pivotal Seattle on Cloud Native Java. Later today I'm off to Toronto, Canada to visit customers and appear at the SpringOne Platform Preview show
