Join us for a Clojure talk by Tapestry author Howard Lewis Ship. Thanks to Consultis for Pizza and Cambridge Web Design for organization.
Here's a little about what Howard plans to cover:
"Clojure is a fascinating new(er) programming language, created by Rich Hickey, that combines the ubiquity and performance of Java with the power and expressiveness of Lisp. Clojure excels at interesting problems, especially those involving concurrency, but can also freely interoperate with standard Java. Clojure developers quickly become passionate about this odd little hybrid: it's easy to learn, yet deeply powerful, and is at the heart of a vibrant and exciting eco-system of tools and libraries."
Howard Lewis Ship, the creator and lead developer for the Apache Tapestry project, is respected in the Java community as an expert on web application development, dependency injection, Java meta-programming, and developer productivity. He has well over twenty years of full-time software development under his belt, with over fifteen years of Java. He cut his teeth writing customer support software for Stratus Computer, but eventually traded PL/1 for Objective-C and NeXTSTEP before settling into Java. For the last year, Howard has been working full time in Clojure as well.
Howard is a frequent speaker at JavaOne, NoFluffJustStuff, ApacheCon, and other conferences, and the author of "Tapestry in Action" for Manning (covering Tapestry 3.0).
Howard is an independent consultant, offering training, mentoring, and project work in Tapestry as well as other interesting technologies such as Clojure and AngularJS. He lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife Suzanne, and his children, Jacob and Olivia.

Chris Wasser is bringing some adaptors, in case we need them.
Had a good run through of this talk last night; I expect to make it even better for next Thursday.
One issue is that I left my mini-display port to VGA cable behind in Portland; we cobbled something together using screen sharing. What kind of projector and cable do you have at the Orlando JUG? If necessary, I can run out a purchase the right cable.
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

One year after its 1.0 release, Podman Desktop announced the Podman AI Lab plugin promising to help developers start working with Large Language Models on their machines. Podman AI Lab streamlines LLM workflows featuring generative AI exploration, built-in recipe catalogue, curated models, local model serving, OpenAI-compatible API, code snippets, and playground environments.
By Olimpiu PopThe Airbnb Tech Blog recently detailed how Airbnb enhances accessibility for users with vision difficulties. Through careful implementation of text resizing guidelines, Airbnb maintains web content, functionality, and a good user experience even as the text font size is doubled.
By Bruno CouriolThe Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) have announced Siren, “a collaborative effort to aggregate and disseminate threat intelligence specific to open source projects”. The initiative comes in the wake of the XZ Utils compromise where it became clear that open source projects needed better ways to disseminate and receive relevant threat intelligence.
By Chris SwanPlatform engineering is not just a technical problem to solve nor an end in itself. In this article, I will share key lessons I have learned while building and delivering three platforms over the last two decades from VMware and Stripe to Apollo GraphQL, including where we got stuck, how we unblocked ourselves, and what ultimately led to the right outcomes for our users and the business.
By Smruti PatelIn this podcast, Vitess CNCF project technical lead Deepthi Sigireddi discusses the architecture of cloud native distributed databases, sharding, replication, and failover. She also talks about what DB developers should consider when choosing distributed databases.
