Profile Information
- How did you hear about Codetown?
- I attended meetings while working for Consultis about a year ago and wanted to return.
- What are your main interests in software development?
- I am interested in speaking with developers and learning more about Java in particular. I enjoyed the meetings and it is great when a lay person (recruiter) like me starts to "get it"!!
- Do you have a website?
- http://softwareresources.com
- Anything else you'd like to add? Where do you live? (optional!)
- If I can become involved in the group and sponsor meetings that would be fantastic. I would like to be of some service to the group if possible.
Happy 10th year, JCertif!

Software architecture is tough because it blends coding, math, and business systems. Due to surprises, architectures tend to become irrelevant over time, Barry O'Reilly said. He presented residuality theory, where he suggested stressing naive architectures to reveal hidden “attractors” in complex business systems. This allows designs to better survive change and uncertainty.

Researchers from DeepMind have described a new approach for teaching intelligent agents to solve complex, long-term tasks by training them exclusively on video footage rather than through direct interaction with the environment. Their new agent, called Dreamer 4, demonstrated the ability to mine diamonds playing Minecraft after being trained on videos, without ever actually playing the game.
