OK, you software geeks...you coding fools, you hacking addicts, this is your meeting. We're going to talk about some cool stuff tonight. This is phase 2 of your favorite and mine: the GatorJUG Openspaces meeting. Bring your topic, let the audience judge and see what happens after your 5 minutes of fame. If we like what you have to say, well...then we'll ask for more! It's a fun way to share and everyone gets a chance. We'll begin with a topical presentation. Kevin Neelands will continue to describe what he's learned developing iPhone apps. He's deployed 5 to the App Store and sold "enough to buy pizza once per week!"...you'll see. Then, we'll transmute into the Spaces session. Open spaces, that is. Bring yourself, bring a friend. It's going to be a good time. And, you know there will be swag and pizza, as always. So, please RSVP so we'll know how much food to order. Use the invite feature to let your bro's know, too!
This meeting is sponsored by Grooveshark.
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.

In June 2026, the IETF published RFC 10008, introducing the QUERY method to HTTP, the first new standard HTTP verb since 2010. QUERY enables developers to send richer query filters in the request body while maintaining cacheable, safe, and idempotent semantics. This addition addresses long-standing limitations with GET and POST methods, facilitating improved API interactions.
