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.
When you create a profile for yourself you get a personal page automatically. That's where you can be creative and do your own thing. People who want to get to know you will click on your name or picture and…
There was a flurry of activity in the Spring ecosystem during the week of March 16th, 2026, highlighting the third milestone releases of: Spring Boot, Spring Security, Spring Integration, Spring AI and Spring AMQP; along with the second milestone releases of Spring Data and Spring for Apache Kafka.
Amazon has announced several updates for Aurora DSQL, focusing on usability, integrations, and developer tooling. The improvements include a new interactive Aurora DSQL Playground that lets developers explore and experiment with the database directly in the browser, without registration or associated costs.
In her QCon London keynote, Birgitta Böckeler, AI-Coding lead at Thoughtworks, reflected on the changes in the AI coding space over the past year. She emphasised a shift from vibe coding to using autonomous coding agents or swarms of agents. According to her, two major concerns in the field are the worsening security landscape and the rising costs of agent-based development.
Peter Morgan introduced Tansu at QCon London, an open-source, Kafka-compatible, stateless, leaderless broker that scales to zero, with pluggable storage (S3, SQLite, Postgres), broker-side schema validation, and direct writes to Iceberg and Delta Lake. Written in Rust, it uses 20MB of RAM and starts in 10 milliseconds.
Sonatype Guide is a real-time guardrail system that sits between AI coding tools and the open-source ecosystem, ensuring AI-generated code uses safe, valid, and maintainable dependencies.
