This Week in Spring - June 10th, 2024

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! I'm in Paris, France, to talk to organizations using and working with Spring. Then, next week, it's off to Krakow, Poland, for the amazing Devoxx PL event! I can't wait. If you're around, don't hesitate to say "hi"!

We've got an amazing roundup, so let's dive right into it!

• I did a talk at Spring IO 2024 in Barcelona that introduced the latest-and-greatest in Spring Boot, and I think you might like it. (Others did; it was voted the most popular talk...)
• Two short weeks ago, I was in Barcelona, Spain, for the amazing Spring IO event where I did a talk and a keynote. The keynote, delivered with my colleague and friend Christian Tsolov, was a blazing fast introduction to all things Spring AI. Spring IO was nice enough to lend me the footage, and it's presented here for your enjoyment. Trust me, this is a great use of 20-ish minutes.
• It was a lot of fun to talk to Bellsoft developer advocate Pasha Finkelshteyn in this episode of A Bootiful Podcast…

Hi, Spring fans, from London! I'm in this fabulous country doing my level-headed best to refrain from dooing Mr. Bean bits, because, honestly, if I - an avid and prolific fan of Spring and its many beans - can't be "Mr. Bean," then I'm glad Rowan Atkinson is!

I'm here for a SpringOne Tour event, and I can't wait. Friends, let's dive right into it!
