Second season comes back mid-October. For those of you that'd like to check out first season content, head over to Kotlin Town and…

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.

A panel discussion at the OSS EU highlighted the importance of understanding dependencies in cloud and hardware, and emphasized the need for practical choices in software for effective operational sovereignty.

A survey conducted by independent research firm Coleman Parkes on behalf of Undo, a company focused on scaling AI-powered root-cause analysis, found that while AI coding agents have accelerated code generation, they have shifted the primary bottleneck to debugging, code comprehension, and maintenance.
By Sergio De SimoneAt Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2026, Wolfram Sang discussed the Linux building blocks for asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP). He highlighted the solid foundation but noted challenges like limited contributor coverage and fragmented testing. Sang's work on a hardware-spinlock driver revealed maintenance complexities and the need for more reviewers and testers to support evolving AMP systems.

Good day,
I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and demand it necessary to write you
immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself
here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on (Jonathanbewes9@gmail.com) for the full
details.
Have a nice day.
Jonathan
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.
