Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week, I just returned from Western Europe for Devoxx FR (Paris) and Kotlin Conf (Amsterdam). I went home, saw my family, did some laundry, and then turned right back around to head to Chicago, Illinois, for a special joint session of the Chicago Kotlin and Java Users Group tonight where I'll be copresenting with my pal, field CTO Justin Reock. It's going to be a ton of fun! Don't miss out!
