Hi Spring fans! In this tip, we'll look at how to get fast-feedback and do integration testing with Spring Cloud Contract. In this video, we'll focus on HTTP-based services.

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! Can you believe we're already staring down the end of October 2017? This year has flown by! What a rush! This week I'm home in sunny San Francisco talking to customers and giving talks.

I'll be speaking "at" the vJUG 24 online conference. The conference lasts 24 hours! There's a talk every hour, from as many timezones as possible! I hope you'll join me (and thousands of others) as we look at Reactive Spring at 04:00 GMT on Wednesday.

And, of course, I hope you'll register and join my friend and Grails co-founder Jeff Scott Brown and me for a look at Grails for Spring Developers…

Hi Spring fans! In this tip, we'll look at how to integrate a Spring Boot application with JAX-RS (using the Jersey reference implementation). JAX-RS is a JCP standard for building REST applications.

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I've been in Dallas and Austin, Texas, first for customer meetings and then to attend and speak at the epic Reactive Summit. If you're around, don't hesitate to say hi on Twitter! We've got a lot to cover so let's get to it!

Also, I'll be doing a webinar with our friends at OCI on November 9th, 2017, on Grails for the Spring Developer, with my friend and Grails co-founder Jeff Scott Brown. I hope you'll join us!

• Last week, SpringSource co-founder and Spring Framework lead Juergen Hoeller won a JAX Special Jury Award for all of his considerable work since the very beginning of the Spring projects. Thanks to him, the special jury noted, "Spring Framework has never needed a complete rewrite in all of the years it has existed. Instead, it has continuously adapted to the changing trends." Thank you, Juergen, for all that you do.
• Last week, I looked at how to use Scala with a reactive Spring Boot and Spring Webflix-based application…

Hi Spring fans! In this tip, we'll look at the bootiful possibilities of integrating Spring Boot and Spring WebFlux, the reactive web runtime and framework in Spring Framework 5, with Scala and the Scala ecosystem and integrating the Spring WebFlux reacive runtime with other Reactive Streams implementations like Akka Streams.

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…

The JAX Innovation awards just took place. The Spring team has been a recipient of the award in a few cases over the years (and a nominee in even more cases), but this year was exceptional.

This year, the jury awarded Spring co-founder and lead engineer Juergen Hoeller (or Jürgen Höller, in his native (Austrian) German language) the Special Jury Award.

We don't normally talk about individuals on this blog, but few can be said to have done so much towards making Spring - and all that has come as a result of it - so successful as Juergen Hoeller has, and does.

The JAX Innovation Awards…

Hi Spring fans! In this tip, we'll look at the reactive programming support in Spring Security 5.0. We'll look at it in terms of its integration with Spring WebFlux, the reactive web runtime and framework in Spring Framework 5.

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This last week's been nuts! So much good stuff on offer. Spring Framework 5.0 is now available! And with Spring Framework 5.0 comes a deluge of releases, all of which you'll see in this post. Also, this week I - and others from the Pivotal and Spring teams - are at JavaOne and I hope you'll come find us and say hi at our booth or the various talks.

• Last week I looked at using Spring Framework 5's support for building reactive websocket-based applications.
• Spring AMQP and Spring Integration lead Gary Russell has just announced Spring AMQP 2.0.RC2.
• At long last, Spring Framework 5.0.GA is here! The new release integrates with Project Reactor, includes a reactive web runtime, Kotlin extensions, and baselines on Java EE 7 and Java 8. The new release has entirely too many new things to hope to capture here so check out the release blog and then check out the What's New post
• Spring and Reactor ninja Simon Baslé just announced the Reactor Bismuth release…

Speaker: Josh Long

Hi Spring fans! In this tip, we'll look at building a Kotlin-language reactive websocket-based application with the new web runtime and framework, Spring WebFlux, in Spring Framework 5. In order to keep things interesting, we also connect our websocket-backend to a frontend written using an Angular 4 and TypeScript.
