Event Description
Our June 2010 presentation used Google maps as a sample platform to discuss jQuery and Ajax. Our presentation at the Sunjug this month will examine the Google Maps API in further detail.
Steve Goldsmith will describe how to use the Google Geoding API to determine latitude and longitude given a street address. Such a technique is needed in order to create maps given only address data. Steve will also discuss how to cleanse and manage such data.
The presentation will also demonstrate how to render markers based on JSON using the geocoded data. Velocity templates will be used to generate multiple types of output using the same data. This will include custom markers and marker clusters for larger datasets.
Steve Goldsmith is Sr. Software Architect at WAZAGUA in Bradenton Fl and is a frequent presenter at the Sunjug.
Food and refreshments will be provided by Wazagua.
The event will be hosted by Community Foundation of Sarasota, located at 2635 Fruitville Rd, Sarasota, FL 34237, which is west of exit 210 off I75.

Vue Router 5.0 has integrated unplugin-vue-router into its core, enhancing file-based routing and TypeScript support.

This conversation explores why generative AI is not just another automation layer but a shift into autonomy. The key idea is that we cannot retrofit AI into old procedural workflows and expect it to behave. Once autonomy is introduced, systems will drift, show emergent behaviour, and act in ways we did not explicitly script.

Google has enhanced its Gemini CLI extension, Conductor, by adding support for automated reviews. The company says this update allows Conductor "to go beyond just planning and execution into validation", enabling it to check AI-generated code for quality and adherence to guidelines, strengthening confidence, safety, and control in AI-assisted development workflows.

Adidas engineers describe shifting from a centralized Infrastructure-as-Code model to a decentralized one. Five teams autonomously deployed over 81 new infrastructure stacks in two months, using layered IaC modules, automated pipelines, and shared frameworks. The redesign illustrates how to scale infrastructure delivery while maintaining governance at scale.
