Hi, Spring fans! In this special midweek installment I (Josh Long) correct a mistake I made last week when I inadvertently released the episode featuring open-web legend Dion Almaer with the interview I conducted with the inspirational and oh-so-amazing Spring Batch co-lead Mahmoud Ben Hassine. This is the actual episode with Dion Almaer (@dalmaer) who is known for so many contributions to the Java ecosystem and beyond. I know him as a former editor in chief of TheServerSide.com, but you may know him for his work championing the open web at Palm, Walmart, and Google, and many more.

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another jam-packed installment of This Week in Spring! It's the week of Thanksgiving here in the United States and I feel like I've got a ton of things and a ton more people for which and for whom to be thankful, and a huge, constant part of that is you, dear community. I say this in this column all the time, but you - the community - are the main reason that Spring is worth doing. I know that I speak for the entire Spring team when I say: thank you! And, speaking for myself, I hope that, whether you're in the US celebrating Thanksgiving or anywhere else, that you…

Hi, Spring fans! Can you believe it's already November 17th, 2020!? We're weeks away from Thanksgiving here in the US and then the end-of-year holidays. I, for one, can not believe it.

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's November 10th, 2020, as I write this and I, for one, can not believe that we're closer to 2021 than we are to 2019 at this point. That's insane. Time has absolutely rocketed by in some senses and stood utterly still in others. Odd year, this one. I hope you're all doing well! I'm at the Reactive Summit today (virtually, of course). This afternoon I was on a wonderful panel with all sorts of folks from around the ecosystem. And soon, around 17:30 or so, if memory serves, I'll be speaking about RSocket and its use in…
