Event Description
Join us this month for a special presentation you're sure to enjoy!

SOA Enterprise Architect specifying and building solutions using SOA techniques, which include Event Based Architectures and Space Based Architectures. Tibco Active Matrix Administrator, Tibco Silver Administrator will give a presentation, topic below. He originally started with Nielsen in 1997
Tony sent a Powerpoint presentation that I believe he is going to use as a road map but he is going to try to focus more on the technical side rather than a general presentation about what Nielsen does.
TITLE - Accelerating Innovation at Nielsen
Topic - We are the world’s leading provider of global marketing information, consumer insights, business media products, and services. Nielsen provides its clients with the most complete understanding of consumers and markets worldwide. And, we use Java and Open Source to do it!
-
Greg Groves, Codetown member and accomplished software developer, and longtime OrlandoJUG member, will lead this fun gathering - an opportunity to look under the covers and see how the most famous (and, as you'll see, tech savvy) TV survey company in the world uses information technology to sift through reams of data.
Please RSVP so we'll know how much food to order.

Netflix uses a Write-Ahead Log (WAL) system to improve data platform resilience, addressing data loss, replication entropy, multi-partition failures, and corruption.

AI is no longer a research experiment or a novelty: it is part of the software delivery pipeline. Teams are learning that integrating AI into production is less about model performance and more about architecture, process, and accountability. In this issue on AI Assisted Development, we examine what happens after the proof of concept and how AI changes the way we build, and operate systems.
