Hi, Spring fans! How?re you doin?? I?m doin? alright! Last week I was in Antwerp, Belgium, for the amazing Devoxx BE show. I did a presentation with my friend and hero James Ward on Spring and Kotlin (that was voted third most-liked talk at a show with more than 250 speakers!) That was a personal career highlight for me – it?s not often you get to win and have fun in life. And, as if that wasn?t awesome enough, this week I am in Las Vegas, NV, for JavaOne! Fingers crossed, this week will go smoothly, too! Both Devoxx and JavaOne are the first such shows since at least before the pandemic. It?s been a very long time in coming and I?m elated, overjoyed, to be able to be here.
And, of course, I?m super excited about SpringOne 2022! Also, the first in-person show of its kind since before the pandemic! It?s going to be amazing. Have you registered? If not, you might consider using this registration code – S1VM22_Advocate_200
