We have a great presentation you all will love coming up Wed, October 10. Join us for some camaraderie with new and old friends. We'll have tasty food and beverages.
Kevin Neelands has been programming since the Apple 2E was hot stuff and recently has done iPhone and Android programming. Kevin will talk a bit about Android development with Java, some common problems and features and/or patterns that help solve them, and wrap up by showing how design patterns help Android development. The lecture will be appropriate for the Java novice, but experienced programmers might learn a thing or two.
Please let your friends know about GatorJUG. We've been around for a long time. These presentations are too good to miss.
This meeting is sponsored by Cambridge Web Design ::: Working Software Developers.
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.

At QCon London 2026, Spotify's Jo Kelly-Fenton and Aleksandar Mitic discussed Honk, an AI-powered coding agent that enables code migrations across Spotify's codebase. The system improves migration, reducing timelines drastically and addressing complexities that traditional scripts could not. Key challenges included handling edge cases and standardizing the codebase to facilitate review processes.

HubSpot engineers introduced Sidekick, an internal AI powered code review system that analyzes pull requests using large language models and filters feedback through a secondary “judge agent.” The system reduced time to first feedback on pull requests by about 90 percent and is now used across tens of thousands of internal pull requests.

In a talk at QCon London 2026, Viktor Petersson argued that software teams are running out of time to adopt SBOMs (Software Bills of Materials) due to pending legislative changes in both the US and Europe. He walked through the current regulatory landscape, spoke on the practical mechanics of generating high-quality SBOMs and on the emerging standards for distributing the resulting artefacts.

Rafael Ring discusses the architectural evolution of server-driven UI at Nubank, moving from static mobile binaries to a sophisticated scripted framework called Catalyst. He explains how they implemented a tree-walk interpreter in Flutter to render dynamic layouts and logic from JSON payloads.
