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.

Ludi Akue discusses how the tech sector’s rising emissions impact our global climate goals. Drawing from her experience as a CTO, she explains seven key lessons for implementing Green IT. She shares insights on LCA assessments, the paradox of microservices, and why FinOps doesn’t always equal green.

Vue Router 5.0 has integrated unplugin-vue-router into its core, enhancing file-based routing and TypeScript support. This transition release boasts no breaking changes, simplifies dependencies, and introduces experimental features like data loaders and improved editor tooling. Ideal for Vue.js developers, it positions itself as a bridge to the upcoming ESM-only version 6.
By Daniel CurtisThis conversation explores why generative AI is not just another automation layer but a shift into autonomy. The key idea is that we cannot retrofit AI into old procedural workflows and expect it to behave. Once autonomy is introduced, systems will drift, show emergent behaviour, and act in ways we did not explicitly script.

Google has enhanced its Gemini CLI extension, Conductor, by adding support for automated reviews. The company says this update allows Conductor "to go beyond just planning and execution into validation", enabling it to check AI-generated code for quality and adherence to guidelines, strengthening confidence, safety, and control in AI-assisted development workflows.

Adidas engineers describe shifting from a centralized Infrastructure-as-Code model to a decentralized one. Five teams autonomously deployed over 81 new infrastructure stacks in two months, using layered IaC modules, automated pipelines, and shared frameworks. The redesign illustrates how to scale infrastructure delivery while maintaining governance at scale.
