Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It’s already nearly November in this crazy rollercoaster ride that is 2020. Crazy.

We’ve got a ton of stuff to get to so let’s waste not a second more.

• Spring Framework 5.3 goes GA This is a huge release, and the most important thing we’ll look at today. Go read this post first. This release includes a ton of new features!

• I loved this case study that talks about how VMware (my employer) uses Kotlin Case Studies: VMware - Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile
• Case Study: Aggregator Function and Processor
• Check out my DevFest Romania presentation - Bootiful Kotlin
• The Maven Daemon is kind of like the Gradle deamon in that its a long-running process (but one compiled using GraalVM) that can greatly speed-up the use of Apache Maven. Anecdotally, I’m seeing folks talk about reducing their larger, multi-module builds to 1/3 of the time.

Hi, Spring fans! In this talk Spring Developer Advocate, Java Champion, and Kotlin Google Developer Advocate Josh Long (@starbuxman) introduces the Kotlin ecosystem, the language, and its application when building server-side Spring applications.

This is a roving tour of all things Kotlin, and there’s a lot to cover, including:

• building Android applications with Kotlin on mobile devices
• building native applications with Kotlin and Kotlin Native ((m)alloc, pointers, and POSIX APIs, oh, my!)
• giving existing APIs like the venerable JdbcTemplate a fresh coat of paint with Kotlin
• using Kotlin ecosystem libraries like the Exposed ORM with Spring
• using rich DSLs such as those provided for Spring Framework’s programmatic bean registration, HTTP endpoints, and for Spring Cloud Gateway
• kicking up our reactive applications a notch with coroutines
