This month, Jim Clarke will give a talk on Embedded Java SE - JavaSE running on ARM, PowerPC, ATOM, and Oracle will provide refreshments!
Jim gave this presentation for the GatorJUG last month. There are subtleties that you'll want to know when you start programming for embedded devices. Think of the possibilities. You've heard of Arduino? Think Arduino on steroids. Here's a free manual that discusses programming embedded devices using Java. Take a look and prepare yourself to be educated by a pro.
Stay tuned for more details!

The recently released Token-Oriented Object Notation (TOON) aims to be a schema-aware alternative to JSON that significantly reduces token consumption at a similar level of accuracy. While the existence and importance of token saved depend on the data shape. some benchmarks show TOON may use in some cases 40% fewer tokens than JSON, possibly resulting in LLM and inference cost savings.
