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.
This meeting is sponsored by Cambridge Web Design - We provide custom software development and professional services. www.cambridgeweb.ie

Autonomous teams are an article of faith in modern software development. The shape of our value determines what we can do; it determines our trade-offs between agency and coherence. We all have a purpose, and we all have agency to do something, hence the suggestion is moving from product focus to value center thinking.

Lily Mara explains how to avoid high-risk software rewrites through incremental FFI refactoring. She shares how engineering teams can replace Python bottlenecks with Rust via PyO3, demonstrating how to achieve dramatic function-level speedups, seamless integration testing, and meaningful infrastructure cost savings without microservice overhead.
By Lily MaraAI coding assistants have become a core part of software development. AI-generated code has shown productivity gains, but it's also contributing to security weaknesses and familiar bug patterns. In this article, author Nitin Garg highlights the bottleneck has moved from code generation to code verification, and how to detect & mitigate it when the AI-generated behavior diverges from the intent.

In June 2026, the IETF published RFC 10008, introducing the QUERY method to HTTP, the first new standard HTTP verb since 2010. QUERY enables developers to send richer query filters in the request body while maintaining cacheable, safe, and idempotent semantics. This addition addresses long-standing limitations with GET and POST methods, facilitating improved API interactions.
