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 GrafanaCON 2026 in Barcelona, Grafana Labs announced Grafana 13 with the new Loki Kafka-backed architecture at the ingestion layer and the AI Observability in Grafana Cloud to monitor and evaluate AI systems in real time. In particular, the new CLI called GCX was announced, designed to surface Grafana Cloud data inside agentic development environments.

Observability must evolve with serverless, event-driven architectures. OpenTelemetry can decouple telemetry from vendors, letting developers emit consistent, high-quality data that explains real system behavior. Shared vocabularies and good telemetry make debugging faster and improve reliability, speed, and developer productivity.

Frank Yu shares Coinbase’s engineering philosophy for building resilient, fair, and fast financial exchanges. He explains the power of a single-threaded architecture combined with the Raft consensus algorithm to maintain 24/7 availability. He discusses how determinism enables zero-downtime rolling deployments and the ability to replay production logs for perfect bug reproduction.
