Hello Orlando Juggies!
Adam Davis will give a presentation on Groovy at the groovy new Canvs Co-working space in Winter Park Thursday 8/24.
If you'd like to be a pizza sponsor and get attention on our 1500 member plus mailing list, www.Codetown.com and have the gratitude of lots of hungry coders, contact Mike at 321-252-9322. @mikelevin
Here's the abstract:
Start building powerful apps that take advantage of the dynamic scripting capabilities of the Groovy language. This talk covers Groovy fundamentals, such as using Groovy tools, working with the GDK, and some popular Groovy idioms. We’ll also cover more advanced aspects of Groovy, such as design patterns, writing DSLs in Groovy, and functional programming concepts in Groovy. If there’s still time, we’ll talk a little while about other great Groovy tools like Spock, Ratpack, Grails, and Gradle.

Adam is a software developer and author. Check out his books at at Packt Publishing,

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.

Netflix uses a Write-Ahead Log (WAL) system to improve data platform resilience, addressing data loss, replication entropy, multi-partition failures, and corruption. WAL decouples producers and consumers, leverages SQS/Kafka with dead-letter queues, and supports delay queues, cross-region replication, and multi-table mutations for high-throughput, consistent, and recoverable database operations.
