Event Description

NOTE - Date change - this meeting is on Wed the 28th!

With the introduction of Fragments in Android ICS and higher the paradigm for UI development has shifted. This also introduced the need to include a compatibility library for older devices. In this session we will explore what has changed and how to implement the new patterns. We will also look into alternative development strategies such as the use of Gradle for build and dependency management, allowing for a decoupling from Eclipse.

Mr.Gleason has been teaching Android development for about 3 years. He has presented at User Groups, Conferences, and even Google Hangout sessions. In his day job, Mr. Gleason is a J2EE Managing Consultant for Sogeti of America. In addition to his passion for open development, Mr. Gleason recently completed an MBA in finance and operations from The Ohio State University.  

This event is sponsored by Cambridge Web Design ::: Working Software Developers

Is anybody planning to attend who lives in South East orlando?  I'd love to catch a ride to the event, if possible.  I don't need a ride home afterwards.

Thanks!

Presentation: WASM Components are a FaaS' Best Friend

Laurent Doguin shares why Wasm’s cold-start performance and security model make it the ideal FaaS runtime. He discusses the WebAssembly Component Model for polyglot interoperability and explains how to build distributed, provider-based architectures using CNCF wasmCloud and NATS. Ideal for architects looking to scale "scale-to-zero" infrastructure without the overhead of heavy containers.

Article: Autonomous Big Data Optimization: Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning to Achieve Self-Tuning Apache Spark

This article introduces a reinforcement learning (RL) approach grounded in Apache Spark that enables distributed computing systems to learn optimal configurations autonomously, much like an apprentice engineer who learns by doing. The author also implements a lightweight agent as a driver-side component that uses RL to choose configuration settings before a job runs.
