OrlandoJUG Reading List ::: from JavaSpecialists
Issue 329 - Filtering Exceptions via try
One of the ways of figuring out the type of an exception is with instanceof. Another is to re-throw it, and to use the catch mechanism to sort things out. In this newsletter we look at different options, including switch with pattern matching.Issue 328 - Negative size() in LinkedBlockingDeque
The LinkedBlockingDeque has an interesting feature in addAll(), where they first build up the linked nodes and then add them all to the tail. However, a bug allowed us to overflow the size, resulting in a negative count. In this newsletter we look at this bug, and also how it was fixed in Java 26.Issue 327 - ShuffleGatherer
Instead of shuffling our stream at the end in the collect() method, we can also shuffle it in stages using the new stream gatherers. This allows us to shuffle sections at a time and even support infinite streams.Issue 326 - Stream Gathering with a Different Distinct Function
A few years ago, we tried to create a new distinct() function for a Stream. It wasn't pretty. In this newsletter we revisit that adventure using the new Stream Gatherers from Java 24.Issue 325 - Be a Distinguished Java Engineer in the Age of Vibe Coding
We are all amazed how AI can help us in everyday tasks. It can even write Java code. But "Show me the Pull Requests" (Evans) sums it up nicely. We do not (yet) see AI massively improving open source projects.Comment Wall

Apple Previews SDK for Building Android Apps with Swift
The Swift SDK for Android, recently released as a nightly build, is designed to help developers to port their Swift packages to Android, making it easier to share code across platforms. While the SDK is still in preview, over 25% of packages in the Swift Package Index can already be compiled for Android.
By Sergio De SimonePresentation: The Way We Manage Compliance Is Wrong… And Is Changing! Bringing DevOps Principles to Controls and Audit
Ian Miell shares the open-source Continuous Compliance Framework (CCF), a tool for modernizing audits and controls. He explains how current manual, periodic compliance fails, especially with new regulations like DORA. He demonstrates how CCF leverages DevOps principles, agent-based architecture, and the OSCAL standard to provide continuous, centralized visibility across hybrid estates.
By Ian MiellFrom Outages to Order: Netflix’s Approach to Database Resilience with WAL
Netflix uses a Write-Ahead Log (WAL) system to improve data platform resilience, addressing data loss, replication entropy, multi-partition failures, and corruption. WAL decouples producers and consumers, leverages SQS/Kafka with dead-letter queues, and supports delay queues, cross-region replication, and multi-table mutations for high-throughput, consistent, and recoverable database operations.

Microsoft has announced a new Sponsorship feature on NuGet.org, designed to help package maintainers receive direct financial support from the community. As stated in the official announcement, the goal is to “make it easier than ever for consumers to recognize and support the authors behind their favorite packages,” while strengthening the overall .NET ecosystem.
By Almir VukMini book: AI Assisted Development: Real World Patterns, Pitfalls, and Production Readiness
AI is no longer a research experiment or a novelty: it is part of the software delivery pipeline. Teams are learning that integrating AI into production is less about model performance and more about architecture, process, and accountability. In this issue on AI Assisted Development, we examine what happens after the proof of concept and how AI changes the way we build, and operate systems.
