Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring, and Happy Devnexus 2025 to those who celebrate! That's right sports fans, I'm off to awesome Atlanta, Georgia later today for Devnexus, one of the world's largest annual gatherings of Java community and luminaries alike. I'll be doing a talk on the latest-and-greatest in Spring Boot as well as another talk looking at Spring AI with the legendary Dr. Mark Pollack, founder of Spring AI. And, of course, I'll be soaking up all the other talks by Spring luminaries like Glenn Renfro, Jonatan Ivanov, Ken Kousen, Ryan Baxter, Simon Ritter, John Burns, Josh Cummings, Jennifer Reif, Justin Reock, Nate Schutta, Mahmoud Ben Hassine, Dr. Venkat Subramaniam, Jonathan Schneider, Spencer Gibb, Roni Dover, Pasha Finkelshteyn, DaShaun Carter, Phil Webb, and Matti Tahvonen, James Ward, Mark Heckler, Marit Van Dyk, Dr. Mark Pollack, and so many more!
It's sure to be an event to remember! I'm retooling my talks for this event, so come one, come all, for Spring-slingin' code, fun, and opportunities.
And, of course, don't forget to join me at the Tanzu and Spring booth on the showroom floor! It's going to be amazing. I'll be there, happy as can be to answer as many questions as y'all like.
