Hi, Spring fans! In this episode, Josh Long (@starbuxman) talks to Neo4j's mad scientist (and the nicest robot you've ever met!), and one of the most brilliant and generous people around, Michael Hunger (@mesirii), about all things graph, relationships and more.

Hi, Spring fans! It's 6 am Tuesday, January 21st, 2020, and I'm buckled in and ready to take off for Atlanta, Georgia (by way of Denver, Colorado...), where I'll be speaking at the Atlanta Java User Group tonight! I'm so looking forward to seeing everyone there. It's my first JUG appearance in the new year, too!

So, let's get to it!

Hi, Spring fans! In this week's installment Josh Long (@starbuxman) talks to Spring Cloud Services teammate Bella (Yuxin) Bai.

Happy belated new year to the Spring community! As we start another amazing year of development and advancement within the Spring project ecosystem, I want to share with you an updated sample application that represents some of the progress we have made across the portfolio to support a Reactive programming model.

The BookStore Service Broker sample application has been updated to demonstrate the integration of several of the various Spring projects, including Spring Cloud Open Service Broker, Spring Data, Spring Security, Spring HATEOAS, and of course Spring WebFlux and Spring Boot. All of…

Hi, Spring fans! What a week! I have ... nothing... happening this week! You know why? I had jury duty for which I was summonsed in mid-2019. I had to postpone it since I was on the road. I finally report to the court to serve as a juror for some trial unknown, this month, January 2020, and I was there... for maybe two hours. I was excused! You should definitely do your civic duty, of course. But, it was awesome to have it over and done within a few hours. I had blocked out the entire week, just in case. So, now I'm working on my Reactive Spring book, writing a ton of code to support…

Hi, Spring fans! In this installment, Josh Long (@starbuxman) talks to Pivotal Labs Sydney director David Julia (@DavidJulia) about applied agile, testing strategy, architecture and more.

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This is also the 9th anniversary of the This Week in Spring blog series. I started it the first Tuesday after the new year in January 2011. NINE years is a long time, and it's been - and continues to be - a ton of fun.

I've never missed an installment - every Tuesday for almost a decade, come heck or high water - I get this done. It's always on Tuesday, my time - whatever time that is. If I'm in Tokyo or Shanghai or Sydney then the installment may very well post sometime in most people's Monday, or if I'm in California or…

Hi, Spring fans! In this episode, Josh Long talks to the one, the only, the inimitable, the amazing, his hero, the good Dr. Dave Syer, Spring Framework committer, former Spring Batch lead, former Spring Security OAuth lead, co-founder of both Spring Boot and Spring Cloud, etc. Statistically, if you're using Spring today, you're probably using code he wrote. This episode was recorded at SpringOne Platform 2019. Happy new year, and enjoy!

Hi, Spring fans, and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Welcome to another, extra-special installment of This Week in Spring. Normally, when writing the first post after or before the new year, I chronicle the most important moments in the last year. This year, seeing as we're about to tip the scales and embark upon not just a new year but a new decade, I'm going to do my level headed best to distill the biggest and the best for the Spring ecosystem in the last decade. The problem I face in writing this isn't in coming up with things to mention, it's in limiting the number of things I mention!

Where does one even start? It's hard to believe we've come this far, as a community. Remember, the earliest pages of code in Spring date back to 2001, almost 19 years ago. Rod Johnson, the original creator of Spring, talked about Spring's progression over the last almost two decades in this blog post - 18 Years of Spring…
