Looking for a December informal gathering in Orlando that crosses tech borders? Here's one that sounds great. It's for anyone interested in web development and that includes PHP, Ruby, Python and Java...and the list goes on and on...
Here's what the sponsors say:
"The Build Guild is a monthly event where folks in the web industry (designers, coders, project managers, hobbyists, etc.) can get together to debate industry topics, share ideas, make professional connections, and land gigs.
The Other Bar is located on the middle of Wall Street between Waitiki and Wall Street Cantina in downtown Orlando. Street parking is free after 6pm, and some suggestions are on Church Street, Pine Street, or Central Ave.

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.

The recently released Token-Oriented Object Notation (TOON) aims to be a schema-aware alternative to JSON that significantly reduces token consumption at a similar level of accuracy. While the existence and importance of token saved depend on the data shape. some benchmarks show TOON may use in some cases 40% fewer tokens than JSON, possibly resulting in LLM and inference cost savings.
