This Week in Spring - January 3rd, 2017

Engineering | Josh Long | January 03, 2017 | ...

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! We're now squarely in 2017, and 0 as always - there is much to cover!

This is also the first week of the year. I note it with some pride because it also marks the 6th anniversary of the first installment of This Week in Spring, in January 2011, which I've since continued every Tuesday without fail come sickness, holiday, travel or otherwise. It's been a heckuva run and I'm excited to see what will grace This Week in Spring in the next 6+ years! I'm eternally grateful for all the people (from the community and internal to VMWare and now Pivotal) that have contributed to This Week in Spring over the years! For the last 3+ years my friend and Pivotal's own Pieter Humphrey has been an amazing help in making this happen, so thanks Pieter!

As usual, if you have things you would like to see added to This Week in Spring, then don't hesitate to ping me on Twitter or ping me by email.

Now then, let's get to it!
