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.

Autonomous teams are an article of faith in modern software development. The shape of our value determines what we can do; it determines our trade-offs between agency and coherence. We all have a purpose, and we all have agency to do something, hence the suggestion is moving from product focus to value center thinking.

Lily Mara explains how to avoid high-risk software rewrites through incremental FFI refactoring. She shares how engineering teams can replace Python bottlenecks with Rust via PyO3, demonstrating how to achieve dramatic function-level speedups, seamless integration testing, and meaningful infrastructure cost savings without microservice overhead.
By Lily MaraAI coding assistants have become a core part of software development. AI-generated code has shown productivity gains, but it's also contributing to security weaknesses and familiar bug patterns. In this article, author Nitin Garg highlights the bottleneck has moved from code generation to code verification, and how to detect & mitigate it when the AI-generated behavior diverges from the intent.

In June 2026, the IETF published RFC 10008, introducing the QUERY method to HTTP, the first new standard HTTP verb since 2010. QUERY enables developers to send richer query filters in the request body while maintaining cacheable, safe, and idempotent semantics. This addition addresses long-standing limitations with GET and POST methods, facilitating improved API interactions.
