This Week in Spring - October 11th, 2022

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! I write this installment as I pack and prepare for my trip to Antwerp, Belgium, for the always-amazing Devoxx show in Antwerp, Belgium. I?ve so missed this show over the pandemic and am so looking forward to returning. I hope to catch any and all of you there, too! I?ll be copresenting with my pal James Ward about some of the new and novel in Spring Boot 3 and Kotlin. It?s going to be awesome - join us and we?ll have some fun together!
