This Week in Spring - December 20, 2016

Engineering | December 20, 2016 | ...
Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm in the winter wonderland of Toronto, Canada, hanging out with the amazing Pivotal Labs Toronto office and working with some of the largest financial institutions in all of Canada as they transition to Spring Cloud and to Pivotal Cloud Foundry. I love seeing seemingly large, lumbering companies run at startup speeds and crave it. This week is the week of Christmas for some in the world, followed shortly by the western western new year. If you celebrate either (or both) of them, then, on behalf of the Spring team, let me wish…

This Week in Spring - December 13th, 2016

Engineering | December 13, 2016 | ...
Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This year has flown so quickly by! Can you believe we're less than 19 days until 2017? I'm utterly stunned. I suppose I shouldn't be, though, given the breakneck speed of progress and new software releases from the Spring team and the community. What a good problem to have! This week, after returning from Australia early Sunday morning, I hacked with my buddy Josh McKenty, I spoke with my buddy Baruch at the San Francisco Java User Group on Monday, will speak with my buddy Matt Raible at the Denver Java User Group on Wednesday (don't…

This Week in Spring - November 29th, 2016

Engineering | November 29, 2016 | ...
Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! I can't believe how quickly this year has gone! This week I'm in Melbourne, Australia for the YOW! conference and then week it's off to Brisbane and then Sydney for the next editions of the same show. Australia is the furthest I've ever been from my 'native' timezone - so even though I always post This Week in Spring every Tuesday, I appreciate that it's still Monday for anybody west of Europe right now! Tonight, I'll join my pal, Intellij's Trisha Gee, and we'll be speaking at the Melbourne JVM User Group. I'm super excited to be here…

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm.. home! It's Thanksgiving this week here in the states, after all. I am sure that I speak for the entire Pivotal team when I say that we are grateful for you, the most wonderful community on the planet. Thanks so much, and if you're celebrating Thanksgiving, then happy Thanksgiving to you! When you're finished with your meal - barely able to keep an eye open - I hope you'll find a comfy arm chair and take in some of the content in this week's roundup. the good Dr. David Syer doesn't always do view templating, but when he does…
