Nem, Very nice! I have bookmarked the Grails web app. Do you have any comments regarding how development went? Any lessons learned to tell?
Nem, This would be a great case study for GatorJUG. Let's talk! /mike
I'm just about to reserve a venue for 12 months of 2013 on the second Wed of each month! <hint>Call for speakers...</hint>
That sounds good, Nem. Thanks. Of the three, the Grails app would be first case study choice, the Android app second and the Atmosphere app third. That is, unless you'd like to talk about them as 2 case studies: the Grails/Android G'Ville Events apps and the Atmosphere app. We get the best turnout with more standard presentations these days, rather than very unique topics.
The next GatorJUG meeting is Wed, January 9th.

I'd be glad to talk about my projects. I have another project that i think would be very interesting to talk about. It is another Grails project that uses atmosphere https://github.com/Atmosphere/
Perfect. If you give me a bio and abstract, I'll do the rest. Second Wed of Jan is 1/9.
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.

The Etsy engineering team recently described how the company migrated its long-running MySQL sharding infrastructure to Vitess. The transition moved shard routing from Etsy’s internal systems to Vitess using vindexes, enabling capabilities such as resharding data and sharding previously unsharded tables.

Amir Langer discusses the evolution of latency reduction, from the Pony Express to modern hardware. He explains how separation of concerns - decoupling business logic from I/O - and tools like Aeron and the Disruptor achieve single-digit microsecond speeds. He shares insights into replicated state machines, consensus protocols like Raft, and the future of low-latency sequencer architectures.

Safari's release of version 26.2 in December introduced support for the scrollend event, completing its alignment with major browsers. This event signals when scrolling has definitively ended, enabling more reliable interactions without the need for workarounds. It improves performance for developers managing UI updates and data fetching based on scroll completion.
