Ohh.... I'm looking forward to hearing about JavaFX.
Of course, there's also the 800 pound gorilla in the room...... Will we be allowed to ask questions about the Oracle+Sun merger? Will Jim Clarke be allowed to answer them? :-)
Happy 10th year, JCertif!

By Claudio MasoloPresentation: Local First – How To Build Software Which Still Works After the Acquihire
Alex Good discusses the fragility of modern cloud-dependent apps and shares a roadmap for "local-first" software. By leveraging a Git-like DAG structure and Automerge, he explains how to move from brittle client-server models to resilient systems where data lives on-device. He explores technical implementation, rich-text merging, and how this infrastructure simplifies engineering workflows.
By Alex GoodArticle: Stateful Continuation for AI Agents: Why Transport Layers Now Matter
Agent workflows make transport a first-order concern. Multi-turn, tool-heavy loops amplify overhead that is negligible in single-turn LLM use. Stateful continuation cuts overhead dramatically. Caching context server-side can reduce client-sent data by 80%+ and improve execution time by 15–29% .
