This Week in Spring - May 3rd, 2022

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! How are you doin'? I'm excited! This week I'm speaking at the ArabJUG, and I'll be speaking at Microsoft's huuuge JDConf event. Both of these are virtual. Then, next Monday, I'm on a plane bound for London, UK, where I'll be speaking at Devoxx UK 2022. Then, not even two weeks later, I'll be speaking at Spring IO, in Barcelona, Spain! Then a week later, I'll be speaking at JNation, in Lisbon, Portugal. To say that I am excited would be an understatement, my friends. And all of that ignores the great stuff since last week…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I was hoping to be in glorious Chicago, Illinois for the first in-person SpringOne Tour installment since the pandemic. But, alas, I couldn't go because - out of an abundance of caution, and since I was exposed to COVID19 in Atlanta, GA - it was thought to be safer to keep some folks home and virtual. Sigh. This policy makes perfect sense and it's what I wanted. But it's still a smidge disappointing to not be there. I miss y'all! It was fun at least doing a remote presentation. Anyway, without further ado, let's…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's been quite the week since we last talked! I flew to Atlanta, GA, for my first in-person show since the pandemic - Devnexus 2022. I loved the experience! Hopefully, the only souvenirs I'll have are the amazing memories and not COVID. I loved to see so many smiling faces. Thanks so much for having me, Devnexus, and for running an amazing show. It was a privilege to return. And now, without further ado, let's dive right into the roundup. A Bootiful Podcast: Cloud guru Tiffany Jernigan Jacky Chan on Twitter: "My new open…
