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.

A recent paper from Anthropic examines how large language models internally represent concepts related to emotions and how these representations influence behavior. The work is part of the company’s interpretability research and focuses on analyzing internal activations in Claude Sonnet 4.5 to understand the mechanisms behind model responses better.

Randy Shoup discusses the "Velocity Initiative," a transformation that doubled engineering productivity and modernized eBay’s DORA metrics. He shares the technical playbook used to scale 4,500 services while explaining why even elite engineering execution can’t save a company hampered by waterfall planning, risk aversion, and a "pathological" culture of fear.

Docker Extensions boost developer speed but create a "visibility gap" by isolating telemetry. To meet enterprise needs, extensions must act as bridges to centralized platforms. This article details how to use OpenTelemetry, policy-as-code, and encryption to build secure pipelines. Learn to balance developer productivity with the governance required for scalable, compliant observability.

Airbnb's observability engineering team has published details of a large-scale migration away from StatsD and a proprietary Veneur-based aggregation pipeline toward a modern, open-source metrics stack built on OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP), the OpenTelemetry Collector, and VictoriaMetrics' vmagent. The resulting system now ingests over 100 million samples per second in production.
