Hi!
Join us to look at what’s new in Java 9, 10 and 11. Also, to understand the new Java release cycle. Jim’s the point man on that and also a JavaFX expert, so there’s a chance to ask some other questions.
Agenda,
1) New Java Release Cadence
2) What’s new in Java 9
3) What’s new in Java 10
4) What’s new in Java 11
Jim is a Master Sales Consultant in Oracle’s Java Group.
His primary role is to advise Fortune 500 companies on best Java security practices and Java Roadmap planning.
He has spent the past 20 years, starting with Sun Microsystems,
working with Java specializing in distributed Object and UI technologies.
Jim is the primary author of the book, “JavaFX: Developing Rich Internet Applications”.
Of course, we’ll have great pizza and bevs (thanks to Oracle this time!) and be sure to RSVP because that’s how we determine how much to buy.
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.

Fast-scaling teams must rebuild trust and psychological safety as their social systems expand. Intentional, redundant communication across multiple formats can keep everyone aligned. Cross-team rituals, buddy systems, and rotating facilitators can reduce silos by building bridges between teams. Leaders accelerate this by modeling the vulnerability they want to see.

Pinterest identified and resolved CPU starvation issues that affected machine learning training jobs on its Kubernetes-based platform, PinCompute. The engineers traced the problem to an unused Amazon ECS agent, which caused memory cgroup leaks. By disabling the agent, they stabilised performance. This case illustrates the importance of understanding system defaults for effective troubleshooting.

Anthropic published a postmortem tracing six weeks of Claude Code quality complaints to three overlapping product-layer changes: a reasoning effort downgrade, a caching bug that progressively erased the model's own thinking, and a system prompt verbosity limit that caused a 3% quality drop. The API and model weights were unaffected. All issues were resolved April 20.
