Hey, I started a Kotlin group - check it out and join if you'd like! I just put up a page dedicated to Kotlin links, books, and more resources. Will add more features like popular frameworks and chat later on.
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.

This article explores the use of domain-specific Generative AI, models that understand operational constraints, real-world dynamics, and business rules to generate executable strategies, not just text descriptions. These models require significantly smaller datasets and fewer parameters, making them cost-effective while enabling AI-driven core business decision intelligence at scale.

Here's a link to Ramya's recording of Jim Clarke's presentation to the OrlandoJUG on the new Java release cadence and new features in Java 9, 10, and 11 https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HriPfCLQZxTRPBZ6Pr84uRheVK3BKsxc
Amanda, Ramya posted a recording of Jim's talk in the OrlandoJUG Town group.
Great! Amsterdam is one of the best cities in the world. Good luck on your talk. Maybe you can write up some high points for Kotlin Town. I have a good friend in Amsterdam https://www.facebook.com/alan.byrne Try to eat: stroopwafels and new herring from a street vendor.
Hi Amanda, Jim gave a great talk and someone recorded it. I'll try to get it and post it. How is KotlinConf?
Glad your talk went well. Cool venue! I would hazard a guess that Jim likes native development better. He's here on Codetown, so you can connect with him if you want. I'll talk a bit about the Kotlin revolution at tonight's OrlandoJUG meeting and point people to your Kotlin Town here on Codetown.
Hi Amanda!
Yesterday, I talked with Jim Clarke, author of JavaFX: "Developing Rich Internet Applications"
I mentioned you and your work with Kotlin. I forwarded him some info on TornadoFX.
He's the featured presenter for OrlandoJUG in September.
Looking forward to reading more of your Kotlin articles!
Blog posts about Kotlin would be great. In fact, maybe we'll start a Kotlin group... Can't wait to read your blog posts.
Hi Amanda, welcome on Codetown! I hope you’ll make use of your Codetown blog and join some groups.
