Join us for a Reactive Spring talk featuring Miguel Mendez.
Miguel Mendez is a software engineer from Orlando Florida. He currently works for FlexEngage as a Lead Developer.
With more than 20 years of experience in the business he is passionate about web technologies, user experience and distributed systems.
As a Domain Driven Design practitioner he believes in the importance of understanding the core domain in order to build useful software.
Reactive programming has been getting lots of attention lately, Projects like Reactive Extensions (Rx) library in the .NET, RxJS, RXJava, and lately Project Reactor have brought Reactive programming into the main scene. Reactive programming is basically programming with asynchronous data streams.
Spring 5 (first milestone June 2016) has reactive features built into it, including tools for building HTTP servers and clients.
We will see a very familiar programming model using annotations to decorate controller methods to handle HTTP requests, for the most part handing off the dispatching of reactive requests and back pressure concerns to the framework. We will also take a look at a more functional way of building web applications on Spring.
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.

JobRunr has introduced ClawRunr, an open-source Java AI agent for scheduled, recurring, and one-off background tasks. Formerly JavaClaw, it runs on users' hardware and combines conversational interaction with persistent task execution, MCP tools, browser automation, and web, Telegram, and Discord channels, while using JobRunr for scheduling, retries, and monitoring.

Confluent introduces a new approach in Apache Kafka that moves schema IDs from message payloads to record headers, aiming to simplify schema governance and evolution. The update integrates with Schema Registry, improves compatibility across serialization formats, and reduces coupling between data and metadata in event-driven architectures.

Hilary Mason shares her journey from academia to building AI products at scale. She discusses the shift from discrete engineering to probabilistic mindsets, explaining why managing "human considerations" is the hardest part of the stack. She explains the "existential crisis" for engineers, arguing that great architecture today is about context management, systems thinking, and good taste.

Vitest 4.1, developed by VoidZero, enhances JavaScript testing with features like test tags for filtering and configuring tests, an experimental mode to bypass Vite's module runner, and new lifecycle hooks. It supports Vite 8 from the start. Notably, it reports improvements in performance compared to Jest. The release addresses issues and provides guides for migration.
