Hello OrlandoJUG!
This month I will be in San Francisco for Java One, Oracle's annual Java conference. Fortunately, Alex Buckles and Gregg Groves will be here to lead the meeting. Thanks, guys!
Our topic this month is Distributed Caching with JCache and Beyond. JCache is vendor-neutral caching specification for Java. No need for proprietary non-standard caching solutions in Java land anymore. In this talk, Greg Luck will cover how distributed caching works in general, capabilities of JCache API, use cases, best practices and the future of JCache.
Viktor Gamov is our presenter. Viktor joined Hazelcast with over 5 years of experience in architecting and building enterprise applications using open source technologies. In his previous roles, he has helped financial companies and startups with various Java and HTML5 projects. He holds an MS in Computer Science. He is a co-author of the O’Reilly book «Enterprise Web Development. From Desktop To Mobile». Viktor has presented at various international conferences (http://lanyrd.com/gamussa) on Java and JavaScript related topics. Find him on Twitter @gamussa.
We usually socialize from 6-7 and the meeting begins at around 7. So, don't worry if you can't get to Canvs by 6.
Meanwhile, thanks for your interest and have fun at this month's JUG meeting. Please feel free to spread the word: you can use Codetown's invite feature to invite your friends.
I'll have a lot to tell you after JavaOne. Oh, and if you'd like a discount code good for 20% off J1, just let me know.

By Daniel DominguezStefania Chaplin explains how to integrate security into engineering workflows and teams using a "Secure by Design" approach. Drawing on her extensive experience, she shares practical strategies for a security-first culture by focusing on people, processes, and technology, including the use of security champions and automation to improve resilience and reduce costs.
By Stefania ChaplinShane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Thanos Diacakis about how teams often struggle with software delivery. He proposes a shift in mental models and a four-step framework to systematically improve software development by focusing on bottlenecks, balancing different types of work beyond just feature delivery, and investing 20-30% of effort in improving how the team works.
By Thanos DiacakisNext.js 15.5 has landed, delivering faster builds and powerful server-side middleware. Key highlights include the Turbopack bundler, which boosts compilation speed by 2x to 5x, and Node.js middleware enhancements. TypeScript improvements enhance developer experience with stable typed routes and early error detection.
By Daniel CurtisGoogle DeepMind has introduced EmbeddingGemma, a 308M parameter open embedding model designed to run efficiently on-device. The model aims to make applications like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), semantic search, and text classification accessible without the need for a server or internet connection.
