Howdy Java Enthusiasts!
We have a great presentation coming up next Thursday, 11/15. Hope you can make it. Be sure to RSVP!
Docker and Gradle
Docker combined with some modest JVM tooling can solve a lot of development problems in some very interesting ways. This talk dives into a few of those situations, and shows an example of how we have utilized Docker with Gradle in our product development. It also explores some of the other options we have to integrate Docker with JUnit/Spock tests and some of the benefits/pitfalls of this approach.
Speaker Joe McCall is a professional software engineer for Intrepid Networks in the Sanford area that has been working with Java/JVM professionally since 2011, and Groovy/Grails since 2012, both on Web and Mobiler.

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.

The Swift SDK for Android, recently released as a nightly build, is designed to help developers to port their Swift packages to Android, making it easier to share code across platforms. While the SDK is still in preview, over 25% of packages in the Swift Package Index can already be compiled for Android.

Ian Miell shares the open-source Continuous Compliance Framework (CCF), a tool for modernizing audits and controls. He explains how current manual, periodic compliance fails, especially with new regulations like DORA. He demonstrates how CCF leverages DevOps principles, agent-based architecture, and the OSCAL standard to provide continuous, centralized visibility across hybrid estates.
