We had such a great time at the Eden Bar last month, I think we may do it again. Unless we get a special guest speaker ;-) I'll put it this way: expect a talk sometime in the near future on simulation. When that happens, we'll wind up in a meeting room with an overhead projector. But for the moment, I think we'll have a casual meeting at the lovely Eden Bar with ample beer and food, atmosphere galore.
Ben King is a local developer who has been working with Swift and may drop by to share what he's learned with us.
If you haven't actually joined the OrlandoJUG group here at Codetown, please do. That way, you'll get email when I post these meeting announcements and also you'll see when others post discussions there. http://www.codetown.us/group/orlandojug
Personally, I've been spending a lot of time learning Android programming, so I'll have things to say about that.
And, that's not all! There's so much going on in the software world, including beacons - have you heard about beacons? They are smart, stick on devices with built in sensors and accelerometers. Check out Estimote for an example. So cool...#nearables
So, stay tuned and like I said, please join the http://www.codetown.us/group/orlandojug group so you'll be in the know about these meetings.
As always, I hope to see you 2/26/15...

So what specifically is the topic for the meetup? Is it like last month where it was general discussion? Or is it more a discussion around mobile development? Or is it specifically on Swift?
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.

OpenAI and Anthropic have announced new healthcare-oriented AI offerings that extend their models beyond general conversational use and into regulated clinical and life sciences environments. Both releases emphasize technical integration, interoperability, and governance, reflecting a shift toward AI systems designed to operate directly within existing healthcare infrastructure.

Friction is the invisible current that sinks every transformation. Friction isn’t one thing, – it’s systemic. Relationships produce friction: between the people, teams and technology. The fix isn’t Kubernetes, the Cloud or AI. The fix is changing our patterns of thinking, communicating, and organizing.

Cedar, an open-source policy language architected by AWS, has joined the CNCF as a Sandbox project. Designed for fine-grained application permissions, it decouples access control from code using a verifiable, high-performance policy engine. Cedar supports RBAC, ABAC, and ReBAC, offering a secure, analyzable alternative to general-purpose tools like OPA.

Guilherme Carreiro discusses the architecture behind Shopify’s theme system, focusing on balancing extreme customizability with platform stability. He explains how they leverage Liquid as a safe DSL, optimize performance via native extensions (Rust/C), and use JSON schemas to bridge the gap between developers and merchants.
