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.

Cassie Shum discusses the architectural evolution of GraphRAG and why data foundations are critical for advanced AI workflows. She explains how traditional vector RAG falls short when addressing global context, multi-hop reasoning, and provenance. She shares enterprise strategies for building semantically structured knowledge graphs that shift raw orchestrating logic down to the data layer.

HeroUI v3 is a redesigned React component library, previously NextUI, offering over 75 components, including 21 new ones, and a new React Native library with 37 components. Built on React Aria and Tailwind CSS v4, it emphasizes accessibility and customization. The library has experienced many updates since its release, and migration from the previous version is necessary.

The panelists explain the realities of running AI systems reliably at scale. While building models is solved, maintaining production databases under constant pressure is not. They discuss the emerging architectural decisions separating teams that scale gracefully from those facing catastrophic outages, and what engineering leaders must rethink today.
