Join us for a presentation entitled "Introduction to Spring Batch" with Chris Schaefer.
In this presentation we will take a high level look at the Spring Batch project. This presentation is ideal for anybody who would like to get an introduction to the framework, its use cases and what it provides you as the developer to build robust batch jobs with minimal effort.
Here's a reference card for Spring Batch Chris made: http://refcardz.dzone.com/refcardz/spring-batch-refcard

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.

DoorDash has launched a multimodal machine learning system that aligns product images, text, and user queries in a shared embedding space. Trained on 32 million labeled query-product pairs using contrastive learning, the system improves semantic search, product ranking, and advertising relevance. Embeddings also support other machine learning tasks across the marketplace.

Stefan Dirnstorfer discusses the shift from DOM-based testing to visual UI agents. He explains why LLMs often fail at precision tasks - like spotting one-pixel shifts or broken road networks - and shares how advanced image registration and "Chain-of-Thought" vision processing are essential for reliable QA. Learn why combining generative AI with classical algorithms is the future of automation.
