Hi, Spring fans! This week I am in beautiful Tokyo, Japan, where I just spoke at the always lovely annual Spring Fest event. I loved the show and I hope that they got something out of my performance.

Last week was tough. Possibly the toughest week of my life. I didn't publish an episode of A Bootiful Podcast, as such. You won't see that episode reflected on the blog because it was my heartbroken dedication to my father, who passed away last week at the age of 81. No interview in that brief, less-than-20 minutes episode.

I'm feeling a little better and was glad to come back to the work of…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! Today I just wrapped up my appearance in Brisbane, Australia, where I have been for the epic YOW! conference. Truly, one of my all-time favorite shows on the planet. I feel like an imposter in the ranks of the other speakers. I can not recommend this show enough.

I'm just about to board my fight back to San Francisco, and we've got a ton of stuff to get to so let's press on!

Hi, Spring fans! Can you believe - and I can't, by the way - that we're already in December 2019? The last month before the new year? The last month of this decade? It defies belief! I can't even imagine how we got this far so quickly, but it's great that we did. I started writing This Week in Spring in the first week of January 2011, so we're fast approaching 9 years of This Week in Spring!

As I write this I am in Toronto, Canada, for the last stop on the SpringOne Tour train for 2019. I enjoyed giving a two-hour talk introducing all sorts of stuff in the wide world of Reactive Spring…

Hi, Spring fans! In today's episode Josh Long (@starbuxman) talks to Spring Tools lead Martin Lippert (@martinlippert) about his time at Pivotal, and on the Spring team, his work on Spring Tools, and his work on language servers that now serve as the foundational integration for Spring users using Microsoft's Visual Studio Code, emacs and Atom, among other things.

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to yet another installment of This Week in Spring! This week, I'm in Tokyo, Japan, for the Pivotal Summit Japan event. I've regretfully had to miss the China and Korea events because of a famly emergency, so it's nice to be able to make this, the last stop on the tour, before returning to California to celebrate Thanksgiving with the family.

And, on that note... it's almost Thanksgiving in the US. Thanksgiving is a time for us in the US to reflect on that for which we're thankful. I think I speak for the entire Spring team when I say that we are very grateful for you…
