Stay tuned as plans firm up...Jim Baker, Jython guy is hoping to join us in the Fall. What's Jython? It's Python on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Jim's the Jython guru. He's given great talks in the past here at GatorJug. Many of you know him. Jim is a practicing software developer, currently with Rackspace and formerly with Canonical. He's also a prof at Univ of Colorado. You can reach him right here at Codetown.
We normally meet on the 2nd Wed, but the date may adjust so Jim can also give a talk for the OrlandoJug.
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.

The TypeScript team recently released TypeScript 6 in beta. The release serves as a key transition point rather than a full feature release. It focuses on technical debt elimination and standardization, preparing the ecosystem for TypeScript 7, a rewrite of the TypeScript code in Go that seeks to address core performance issues that ballooned over time.

NET 11 Preview 1 is released, featuring Runtime Async as the headline change, moving async method handling from the compiler into the runtime itself. The preview also brings CoreCLR WebAssembly work, native Zstandard compression, C# 15 collection expression arguments, and MAUI improvements. Community reaction has been mixed, with praise for async changes but debate over language complexity.
