Our very own Kevin Neelands will introduce us to Java/Android programing. The meeting will be held at Santafe College, third floor of S-building next to the bookstore. We'll have the exact room number soon.
Kevin Neelands has done mobile app development for the iPhone, iPad and Android devices. He will talk about some of the initial things he learned about Android while porting iOS apps to Android, specifically how Android differs from iOS. This talk will de-emphasize technical aspects and will be appropriate for people who are familiar with Java but just starting Android programing.

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.

Autonomous teams are an article of faith in modern software development. The shape of our value determines what we can do; it determines our trade-offs between agency and coherence. We all have a purpose, and we all have agency to do something, hence the suggestion is moving from product focus to value center thinking.

Lily Mara explains how to avoid high-risk software rewrites through incremental FFI refactoring. She shares how engineering teams can replace Python bottlenecks with Rust via PyO3, demonstrating how to achieve dramatic function-level speedups, seamless integration testing, and meaningful infrastructure cost savings without microservice overhead.
By Lily MaraAI coding assistants have become a core part of software development. AI-generated code has shown productivity gains, but it's also contributing to security weaknesses and familiar bug patterns. In this article, author Nitin Garg highlights the bottleneck has moved from code generation to code verification, and how to detect & mitigate it when the AI-generated behavior diverges from the intent.
