Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring. This week I'm in sweet San Francisco, soaking up the sun and enjoying the fun of summer. Sure, I've got a few meetings, and appearances, etc., but it is very nice to be home. By the by, I'll be speaking at the upcoming San Francisco Java User Group - come hang out and say hi!
