This conference will focus on the latest technologies and best practices emerging in the enterprise software development space. Our speakers are authors, consultants, open source developers, and recognized industry experts. NFJS brings a high quality conference to your city, making the event accessible not only to senior engineers, but to the whole team.
» Cutting-Edge Technologies – Develop better and faster. Technology evolves and changes at a rapid rate. NFJS helps you stay current and assist you in making the right technology choices down the road.
» Excellent Team Building Experience – because of its local roots, an NFJS event allows teams of developers/architects/managers from a company to attend together. Getting out of the "office environment" together as a group to learn/discuss concepts is a powerful combination. Want to solve a problem? Get a fresh opinion at an NFJS event. Interaction and exchange of ideas is one of the great attributes of NFJS.
» Lots of Choices – unlike other technical conferences, NFJS offers a tremendous bandwidth of session choice. With a minimum of four concurrent tracks offered at each NFJS show you are sure to find a compelling session to attend!

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.

Two related, Oracle-backed projects published opposing policies on open-source contributions created with generative AI: The OpenJDK Governing Board approved an interim policy prohibiting such contributions, while the Coding Assistants policy from GraalVM permits them. Both projects require contributors to sign the same Oracle Contributor Agreement (OCA) for intellectual property.

Lyft details a new pickup experience to improve reliability in gated communities, where 25–30% of rides face routing and access challenges. The system uses mapping signals, boundary detection, and routing improvements to reduce cancellations and coordination overhead between riders and drivers, highlighting how real-world constraints drive evolution in geospatial systems.

When a platform started with total developer autonomy, teams felt overwhelmed and ended up solving the same problems in completely different ways. The company shifted to enablement over support, working together with teams intensively, and helping teams feel confident and capable, turning the right way into being the easiest way.

OpenAI's GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, and Codex are now generally available on Amazon Bedrock, one month after OpenAI revised its exclusive Azure arrangement. Pricing matches OpenAI's direct rates with usage counting toward AWS commitments. Codex shifts to pay-per-token billing with no seat fees. GPT-5.4 is the first OpenAI model available in AWS GovCloud.
