Hi, Spring fans! It's the week of February 18th, 2025, and you know what that means? ConFoo and Devnexus are nearly here! Next week, I'll be traveling to amazing Montreal, Canada, to speak at the ConFoo show for an amazing community, poutine, and technology! Then, a few days later, it's off to awesome Atlanta, Georgia, where I'll be doing a workshop, a talk on Spring AI with Dr. Mark Pollack, and my usual Spring Boot latest-and-greatest talk. If you're going to either of those shows (why not both?), please don't hesitate to say "salut" or "hello"!
