Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Join us for a Reactive Spring talk featuring Miguel Mendez.
Miguel Mendez is a software engineer from Orlando Florida. He currently works for FlexEnage as a Lead Developer.
With more than 20 years of experience in the business he is passionate about web technologies, user experience and distributed systems.
As a Domain Driven Design practitioner he believes in the importance of understanding the core domain in order to build useful software.
Reactive programming has been getting lots of attention lately, Projects like Reactive Extensions (Rx) library in the .NET, RxJS, RXJava, and lately Project Reactor have brought Reactive programming into the main scene. Reactive programming is basically programming with asynchronous data streams.
Spring 5 (first milestone June 2016) has reactive features built into it, including tools for building HTTP servers and clients.
We will see a very familiar programming model using annotations to decorate controller methods to handle HTTP requests, for the most part handing off the dispatching of reactive requests and back pressure concerns to the framework. We will also take a look at a more functional way of building web applications on Spring.

Diana Montalion and Cat Morris discuss why large-scale transformations often fail, pinpointing six systemic friction points. They explain how architects can drive change by understanding organizational systems, designing knowledge flow, and architecting relationships. They argue that focusing on outcomes, managing resistance, and adopting a learning-driven mindset are critical to success.
By Cat Morris, Diana MontalionxAI introduced grok-code-fast-1, a model developed specifically for agentic coding workflows.
By Daniel DominguezGoogle Spanner now features a columnar engine, allowing its distributed database to handle both OLTP and OLAP workloads on a single platform. This hybrid architecture eliminates the need for separate data warehouses and ETL pipelines. The engine's columnar storage and vectorized execution accelerate analytical queries up to 200x on live data, which is especially beneficial for AI applications.
By Steef-Jan WiggersIn this podcast, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Greg Foster about the evolution and purpose of code reviews, building teams with kindness, expertise, and urgency, and how AI tools are changing software development.
By Greg FosterArtificial intelligence is impacting the individual work of software developers, how professionals work together in teams, and how software teams are being managed. In this panel, we'll discuss how artificial intelligence is reshaping software development, and what mindset and skills are required for software developers and engineering leaders to become adaptable and resilient in the age of AI.
