Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Good news!
Ben King (Keep It Simple Tech) keeps an eye on his app....on his watch. His company, Keep It Simple Tech launched app ABC, Always Be in Contact recently. It's cool! Try it out.
How did he do it? Well, it's not a one man show. There's also an incubator involved. How about the development model? Join us at the next GatorJUG and learn all about smartphone SDLC.
Good questions. All of us are inevitably wondering whether to make the leap to smart watches if we haven't already.
And, GatorJUG folks are thinking beyond buying the watches or downloading the apps. We're thinking about making the apps! For sure! That's what we do.
It's springtime and the backyard at First Magnitude is where we'll meet next Wednesday, from 6-9PM. Please RSVP here at the event announcement.
We have a new sponsor: JSPTester. JSPTester is a Java testing tool to help you test your JSP. According to the website, "JSPTester is a web-based tool for the isolated testing and prototyping of JSP pages! JspTester™ seamlessly integrates with your web application, allowing you to test the rendering of JSP pages by injecting request parameters, model attributes and session variables without the need of business logic or an MVC controller." Check it out here: http://www.JSPTester.com
Thanks to JSPTester, we'll have some dee-licious munchies.
Cambridge Web Design is an official GatorJUG sponsor. CWD ::: Working Software Developers...since 1997!

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.

Stephen Batifol discusses building and optimizing self-hosted, multimodal RAG systems. He breaks down vector search, nearest neighbor indexes (FLAT, IVF, HNSW), and the critical role of choosing the right embedding model. He then explains vLLM inference optimization (paged attention, quantization) and uses Mistral's Pixtral to detail multimodal large language model architecture.
By Stephen BatifolAt OpenAI's DevDay 2025, AgentKit and models GPT-5 Pro and Sora 2 were unveiled, enabling interactive software experiences directly within ChatGPT. This shift towards "apps inside ChatGPT" fosters collaboration and commercialization in conversations. Enhanced self-hosting options and robust SDKs empower developers and streamline workflows, positioning OpenAI at the forefront of AI innovation.
