Welcome to the first meeting of 2010! GatorJUG is here for you to learn about Java and all of the software development lifecycle, in general. There are no fees, lots of good presentations and free giveaways...and munchies every meeting.
Please join the GatorJUG group here on Codetown. It makes inviting you to these meetings much easier!
We'll have an iPhone development meeting with open forum. I think that would be interesting to a broad range of developers, especially the ones that do Java apps on the Blackberry. Bring us your case studies! We'll also hear about Clojure development from Eric Lavigne, the winner of the first Contest Town coding contest!
Feel free to invite a friend. Please RSVP here so we'll know how much pizza to order.
We're looking for a sponsor for this meeting. If you or your company is interested, please contact Mike Levin...thanks in advance!

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.

Form3 runs UK bank payments across three clouds simultaneously. At QCon London, their engineers explained how they built their custom Kubernetes operators, cross-cloud DNS tricks, and distributed databases, and what happened when they tried to sell them in America. Spoiler: US customers wanted East/West failover, not triple-active multi-cloud.

At QCon London 2026, Yinka Omole, Lead Software Engineer at Personio, presented a session exploring a recurring dilemma engineers face, whether to spend time mastering the newest technologies and frameworks or to invest in deeper, foundational problems that may appear less exciting but deliver long-term value.

DoorDash has launched a multimodal machine learning system that aligns product images, text, and user queries in a shared embedding space. Trained on 32 million labeled query-product pairs using contrastive learning, the system improves semantic search, product ranking, and advertising relevance. Embeddings also support other machine learning tasks across the marketplace.

Stefan Dirnstorfer discusses the shift from DOM-based testing to visual UI agents. He explains why LLMs often fail at precision tasks - like spotting one-pixel shifts or broken road networks - and shares how advanced image registration and "Chain-of-Thought" vision processing are essential for reliable QA. Learn why combining generative AI with classical algorithms is the future of automation.
