Claude Code for Spring Developers

If you are not using Claude Code for your development in 2026 you are seriously missing out on a massive speedup in your development workflow! Ever since the Claude Opus 4.5 release the Claude Code CLI has sped up my development workflow immensely. From planning a whole Spring Security 7 migration by getting interviewed to letting Ralph Wiggum implement it the experience has been mesmerizing.

In this session I will walk you through the most productive patterns I learned. Afterwards you know how to create your own CLAUDE.MD and leverage skills, agents and whatever the Claude Team have cooked up till April. I cannot tell you what the best workflow in 4 weeks is much less in 4 months. But I'm convinced that if you don't keep up to date you are going to be left behind.
