Event Description
You've Been Lied To!
You've been told for years that using a persistence framework will insulate your application from changes to the database. As with other such claims, this turned out to be false. When porting a J2EE application to a NoSQL-style system, there are a number of factors to consider.
In this presentation, Tim will take a traditional J2EE application and port it to Google's App Engine. Specific focus will be on the various persistence technologies: Hibernate, SpringJDBC, JPA, JDO, and DAOs.
The goal of this session is to have an interactive discussion about how to take a traditional app, and enable it for deployment in a Cloud environment.
About the presenter:
Tim Crowley is an Enterprise Architect who works for an International company that makes Machines for Business. By day, he focuses on integrating global systems. By night, he likes to explore new and emerging technologies.
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.
Food and refreshments will be provided by Infoblazer

QCon London 2026: Morgan Stanley Rethinks Its API Program for the MCP Era
Morgan Stanley engineers Jim Gough and Andreea Niculcea showed how they're retooling the bank's API program for AI agents using MCP and FINOS CALM. Live demos covered compliance guardrails, deployment gates, and zero-downtime rollouts across 100+ APIs. First API deployment shrank from two years to two weeks. They also demoed Google's A2A protocol running alongside MCP.

By Michael RedlichHow to Shape the Engineering Culture in Software Companies
You can find your way through an organization by figuring out what artifacts people leave behind, David Grizzanti mentioned at InfoQ Dev Summit Boston. He compared culture to anthropology, suggested studying behaviors, power dynamics, and decisions first, and then patiently model and reward new norms, build allies, and use influence and leading by example, to shift engineering culture over time.

At QCon London 2026, Jeff Smith discussed the growing mismatch between AI coding models and real-world software development. While AI tools are enabling developers to generate code faster than ever, Smith argued that the models themselves are increasingly “stale” because they lack the repository-specific knowledge required to produce production-ready contributions.

Claude Opus 4.6 discovered 22 Firefox vulnerabilities in two weeks, including 14 high-severity bugs, as nearly 20% of all critical Firefox vulnerabilities were fixed in 2025. The AI also wrote working exploits for two bugs, demonstrating emerging capabilities that give defenders a temporary advantage but signal an accelerating arms race in cybersecurity.
