Hello GatorJUG!
It's time to ramp up and have our first meeting of 2015!
For this meeting, we'll go over upcoming events, talk about what's new in general and we'll have an interesting discussion about Carol McDonald's article "How to Use SQL, Hadoop, Drill, REST, JSON, NoSQL and HBase in a Simple REST Client".
Of course, expect some tasty pizza and drinks. Please RSVP and bring a friend.
As always, I hope to see you there!
Mike
PS - Carol's article is also published on DZone. If you get the chance, vote it up! And, if you're not familiar with DZone, they're a big Codetown supporter and very informative publication you'll benefit from reading.
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.

AWS has elevated Rust support in Lambda from experimental to generally available, empowering developers to create high-performance, memory-safe serverless applications. This milestone enhances developer confidence, backed by AWS support and SLA. While it offers speed comparable to C++, challenges such as lengthy SDK compile times and increased binary sizes remain key considerations.

Sustainable APIs benefit most from minimalism, Jochen Joswig said at OOP Conference . Deployment should consider energy, usage, carbon intensity, hardware acquisition. Remote work, long device lifespans, and green office practices can lower emissions. Efficient CI, selective builds, smaller artefacts, and optimized assets can further reduce energy use.
