Join us at the OrlandoJUG This April for a presentation on Git, the version control tool and Gradle, the build tool. Jim Moore will give the presentation.
Abstract:
This session will talk about the evolution of code-management tools, specifically build-management and source revision support. We'll briefly look at the "old school" tools that developers in the Java community are usually familiar with, such as CVS, SVN, Ant and Maven. Then we'll see what the current generation of those kinds of tools (specifically Git and Gradle) do. Besides obviously being very powerful open-source implementations of these kinds of tools, one of their most important uses is to change and expand how we think about many of the issues around the development process. (Note: This will be primarily a demo-driven talk.)
Speaker Bio:
Jim Moore is the Executive Director of Platform Engineering at Canoe Ventures. He has many years of experience with delivering solutions at all layers of the software stack, from code-monkey to tech-lead to consultant to executive management (and still tries to be a code-monkey when possible). He's repeatedly learned the value of tools that support developers, instead of trying to make developers conform to the workflows of the tools.
Please RSVP so we'll know how much food to order, And, please feel free to invite a friend using the Codetown Invite feature. We're looking forward to seeing you!

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.

At the Databricks Data+AI Summit, held in San Francisco, USA, from June 10 to 12, Databricks announced that it is contributing the technology behind Delta Live Tables (DLT) to the Apache Spark project, where it will be called Spark Declarative Pipelines. This move will make it easier for Spark users to develop and maintain streaming pipelines, and furthers Databrick’s commitment to open source.
By Patrick FarryArtificial intelligence excels at refining language and processing large text volumes, but lacks human-like contextual reasoning and emotional intelligence, Avraham Poupko said. Many human traits come into play when doing software architecture. As an architect, he suggests using AI for exploring tradeoffs and refining language with clarity and precision.
By Ben LindersDorota Parad shares the BLISS framework (Bulkheads, Levels, Impact, Simplicity, Pit of Success), explaining how we can eliminate productivity sacrifices made in the name of security. She discusses optimizing security practices to reduce friction, improve developer experience, and build more resilient systems that meet compliance without hindering innovation.
By Dorota ParadPhil Calçado, CEO of Outropy, shared key insights at the InfoQ Dev Summit on scaling generative AI products. He highlighted the need for effective workflows and agents in AI development, advocating for iterative approaches that leverage proven software engineering principles. His insights promise to guide teams in building resilient AI systems without reinventing the wheel.
