Hello!
We have a special guest, in all the way from the snowy north - Jackie Gleason is enjoying some sunshine and surf with his family this week in Melbourne. He's agreed (read: his wife agreed) to drive up to Gainesville tomorrow night (Tuesday) and give a couple of presentations on Angular, d3, GraphDBs and Neo4J. So, if you've wondered what all the excitement is about these technologies: JavaScript frameworks and graph databases, Jackie is an expert. What I am saying is he didn't just throw this material together. He knows these technologies backwards and forwards. So, even if you've been using Angular, d3, GraphDBs and/or Neo4J for a long time, you'll have a venue to ask questions and fine tune your knowledge.
Just so you know, O'Reilly and Neo4J have a book on graph databases you can download. Here's the link: http://neo4j.com/books/graph-databases/?utm_source=GPPC&gclid=COubrKfv-coCFZcdgQodTtYOtA
Angular 2 is out and the framework has changed, so you can brief yourself painlessly at tomorrow's meeting (Tuesday 2/16 at Santa Fe College Building S Room 317)
What's d3? https://d3js.org/ "D3 allows you to bind arbitrary data to a Document Object Model (DOM), and then apply data-driven transformations to the document. For example, you can use D3 to generate an HTML table from an array of numbers. Or, use the same data to create an interactive SVG bar chart with smooth transitions and interaction.
D3 is not a monolithic framework that seeks to provide every conceivable feature. Instead, D3 solves the crux of the problem: efficient manipulation of documents based on data. This avoids proprietary representation and affords extraordinary flexibility, exposing the full capabilities of web standards such as HTML, SVG, and CSS. With minimal overhead, D3 is extremely fast, supporting large datasets and dynamic behaviors for interaction and animation. D3’s functional style allows code reuse through a diverse collection of components and plugins."
We'll meet Tuesday 2/16 at Santa Fe College Building S Room 317 -
Please RSVP so I'll know how much pizza to buy.
We have a shiny new Meetup page if you like Meetup - http://www.meetup.com/gatorjug
As always, I hope to see many of you there!

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.

In this podcast, Shane Hastie, spoke to Duncan Grazier about transforming software engineering teams into polymorphic cultures where humans work alongside AI agents, requiring leaders to rethink career paths, focus more on communication and coaching skills, and navigate the implications of how the gap between junior and senior engineers rapidly closes due to AI augmentation.
By Duncan GrazierY Combinator startup Subtrace has released an open-source tool to help analyse network traffic from containerised applications. The creators have positioned it as "Wireshark for Containers " and aim to simplify network debugging in Docker and Kubernetes environments.
By Matt SaundersGoogle Labs has introduced Opal, an experimental no-code tool that enables users to create AI-powered mini-applications through natural language descriptions and a visual workflow editor.
By Daniel DominguezIn a recent article from the engineering team behind the Zero Trust product suite, Cloudflare explains why it chose TimescaleDB over ClickHouse to add analytics and reporting capabilities to its internal platform. The author highlights the “phenomenal balance” between the simplicity of storing analytical data alongside configuration data and the performance of a specialized OLAP system.
By Renato LosioCarlos Arguelles spoke about Amazon’s inflection points in engineering productivity at QCon San Francisco, where he explained that shift testing left can help catch issues early. He suggested using guardrails such as code reviews and coverage checks. Your repo strategy, monorepo or multirepo, will impact the guardrails that need to be in place.
