Hi Spring fans! Happy New Years to you! Here's hoping that your new year is healthier and happier than the last. Did you notice that spiffy new numeral in the date? 2019? Isn't that 'perty?? We made it! (We're now a year away from 2020! I don't know why that year holds so much sway for me...)

Also, this is the eighth anniversary of This Week in Spring! I started this series in the first week of January 2011. We've come a long way since then!

Hi Spring fans! And welcome to another, very special installment of This Week in Spring where we look not only at the last week's news but also the highlights of the year behind us. 2018 was one of incredible turmult on the technology landscape, one that the Spring community has been able to deftly navigate. In this special year-end wrapup we'll do what we always do - look at the latest and greatest in the ecosystem, but we'll also revisit the things that I, your friendly neighborhood @starbuxman, feel most positively impacted the Spring developer in 2018.

First, of course, let me get the…

Hi Spring fans!

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! I just wrapped up the last two talks or workshops I'll do this year. Yesterday we spent four hours looking at Reactive Spring and today we spent four hours looking at Spring Boot and Kotlin. I love doing these sorts of trainings because I really get to dive deep on topics with my audiences. It's, truly, one of the rare pleasures in an otherwise hectic schedule. Needless to say, I am super relaxed and happy as I write this and I hope you are too!
