This Week in Spring - June 4, 2019

Engineering | June 04, 2019 | ...

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm in.... I'm home! Look at that! I'm home for the epic SpringOne Tour San Francisco event. I'm super excited to be here in this amazing weather with an amazing community. It's been a busy week though! Last week I returned from Spain for my kid's graduation, and I am still so so proud. Tomorrow I fly to Cork, Ireland for the Cork JUG and then it's off to London for a wedding. So, lot of travel, but a bit of a lighter load :-)

We've got a lot to cover so let's get to it!

Hi Spring fans! What a week it's been since we last spoke! I was in Zurich, Switzerland; then Paris, France; then Minsk, Belarus; and now I'm in Barcelona, Spain for the epic JBCN show.

Spring en la primavera

....And I'm not going anywhere until Thursday when I'll fly home to San Francisco, USA to see our kid graduate middle school! I'm so proud of her. What a legend.

Hi Spring fans! It's been quite a crazy week! I was in Spring I/O last week in Barcelona, Spain and there was a deluge of interesting news to come out of the show! I loved the show - a sort of mini SpringOne - and am chomping at the bit to see what comes next. I'm now beginning a small tour starting in Zurich, Switzerland; then I'm off to the paradise-like Paris, France for the epic SpringOne Tour event there, then I'm off to Minsk, Belarus; then off to Barcelona, Spain for JBCN, and then - finally - home for the middle school graduation of my kid at the end of the month. So much exciting…

Spring Tips: Spring Batch and Apache Kafka

Engineering | May 15, 2019 | ...

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of Spring Tips (@SpringTipsLive)! In this installment we look at the just-landed community contribution in Spring Batch adding support for Apache Kafka.
