Hi Spring fans! Welcome once again to This Month in Spring. As the cool air of autumn takes over, I find myself reminiscing about my recent journeys. From the buzz of Singapore, where I had the chance to keynote SpringOne Singapore, to the cultural heartbeats of the city of Antwerp for Devoxx Belgium and the iconic city of Amsterdam for SpringOne Tour Amsterdam. There was a delightful pit-stop at the Java User Group in Amsterdam, alongside the legendary Trustin Lee and the gracious Geertjan Wielenga, and another pit-stop at the JUG in Bern, Switzerland, alongside the legendary Cora Iberkleid and Sam Brannen. The arrival of Java 21 has been monumental! Its integration with Spring Boot 3.2 promises a transformative experience for developers. And as the excitement of these developments swirls, my anticipation builds for my upcoming destinations, spanning Porto, Portugal; Montreal, Canada; Salt Lake City, Utah; and many others, too. It's hard to believe we're already in the last quarter of the year! And what better way to preview than to review, review this month in Spring, that is!
