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.

AWS launched Agent Plugins for AWS, providing AI coding agents with specialized deployment skills. The initial deploy-on-aws plugin transforms workflows by accepting commands like "deploy to AWS" and generating complete pipelines with architecture recommendations, cost estimates, and infrastructure code. Supported in Claude Code and Cursor, AWS claims 10-minute deployments versus hours manually.

GitHub has released its yearly look at open-source trends. They used data from the Octoverse 2025 report to help the open-source community get ready for the coming year. The picture that emerges is one of extraordinary scale and the structural strains that come with it.

Google Cloud has optimised GKE's node pool auto-creation, significantly cutting "Time to Ready" for massive clusters. By improving control plane communication and request batching, GKE now provisions resources faster, rivalling tools like Karpenter. The update enhances scaling reliability and stability for high-volume AI and batch workloads, automatically rolling out across supported versions.
