La démarche choisie pour atteindre cet objectif sera celle ci:
DRC JUG is a whole of people meeting around technologies Java (professionals, open communities source, companies, students, teachers, impassioned,…) this with an aim of popularizing l' ecosystem of multiple technologies revolving around the language Java, of its platform and its virtual machine. On the basis of the fact that Java technologies become increasingly impossible to circumvent within the companies, that the knowledge and the control of those Ci becomes an undeniable asset within the community of developers. We were given like objective to create in DRC a strong community around this technology, to instigate it and to provide an adequate foundation to the multiple developers and impassioned this art which would like is to learn or better, to integrate it within the companies for which lilies work or, to make of them their tools of predilection for the supply of software solution. The step chosen to achieve this goal will be that Ci: Organization of workshop, seminar and conference or we will arrange ourselves with the means of edge to see up to what point we can invite professionals recognized in the field to make us share their experiments, to make presentations on platforms recognized and which are references during the multiple stages of the development of applications, we could, train us has these technologies and to improve competences,… in short to make full with trick. We also count on the creation of set of themes group on technologies in Java technology such as sets of themes groups on the frameworks (Spring, Velocity, JSF, Struts, Hibernate, JBoss seam, Play Framework,…), others on technologies GUI (Swing, SWT, XUI, Apache Pivot, Fx Java,…) who exist in Java, others on the dynamic languages which are dealt with by Java (Java script, Groovy, Ruby,…), architectural aspects and patterns (MVC, Peer to peer, 1-third, 2-third, 3-third,…), methodologies of development of applications and the management of the life cycle of the applications in general and particularly that written in Java.

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.

J. Paul Reed discusses the "ironies of automation" - a 40 years-old concept now amplified by AI. He explains how advanced systems often make the human operator more crucial, not less, while simultaneously degrading the skills needed to intervene. Sharing real-world stories of "AI-fueled" incidents, he shares why over-reliance on AI can double recovery times and how to maintain resilience.

Platform engineering should have a product focus, as developers are customers; they must provide composable, self-service capabilities, golden bricks rather than rigid golden paths, so teams can move quickly while maintaining consistency. Success is measured through adoption, developer experience, and business outcomes such as deployment frequency and change failure rate.

Google introduced new Android development tools that enable building apps up to 3x faster by using AI agents, including a redesigned Android command-line interface (CLI), structured skills", and an integrated knowledge base. These tools are designed to support agent-driven workflows and are compatible with third-party agents such as Claude Code and Codex, in addition to Google Gemini.

Backlogs in distributed systems are arithmetic problems, not mysteries. This article provides practical formulas for calculating backlog drain time, sizing consumer headroom, and setting auto-scaling triggers. It covers key failure modes — retry amplification, metastable states, and cascading pipeline bottlenecks — plus when to shed load instead of draining.
