Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! As I write this I am in Amsterdam, Netherlands, preparing to speak at the Utrecht JUG tonight along with fellow Java Champion Trisha Gee. We're not speaking together, but instead it's a double header: she'll speak first, then I after. I am super excited to learn from her! Then, I join James Ward and we'll speak at Kotlin Conf. Then, I take a quick train to Paris to speak at Devoxx Fr. I hope if you're about you'll join me at any of these talks.
