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.

Luca Mezzalira shares a decision framework for micro-frontends, covering composition, routing, and communication. He explains how to structure "stream-aligned" teams and use a "tiger team" for foundational architecture. He also discusses the sociotechnical benefits of reducing external dependencies and shares how to use guardrails and discovery services to achieve 25+ deployments per day.

Agoda engineers developed API Agent, enabling a single MCP server to access any internal REST or GraphQL API with zero code and zero deployments. The system reduces overhead from multiple APIs, supports AI-assisted queries, and uses in-memory SQL post-processing for safe, scalable data handling across internal services.

In this article, the authors outline protocols for building extensible multi-agent MLOps systems. The core architecture deliberately decouples orchestration from execution, allowing teams to incrementally add capabilities via discovery and evolve operations from static pipelines toward intelligent, adaptive coordination.
