Java 8 Resources (thanks to Mattias Karlsson)
Guess you know about all the resources and video cast Oracle provided
at the Java 8 Launch site:
http://www.oracle.com/events/us/en/java8/index.html
On top of that we have released all Java 8 talks from Jfokus 2014
including the Keynote with Georges Saab and Mark Reinhold.
Except the talks from a number of Oracle speakers you can find these
and many more:
-Java 8 Language Capabilities - What's in it for you?, Venkat Subramaniam
-Lambda Expressions: Myths and Mistakes, Richard Warburton
-Navigating the Stream API, Maurice Naftalin
They are now freely available here:
http://www.parleys.com/search/jfokus
OR with your iPad or Android device...
The Jfokus 2014 Play App enables you to watch talks from Jfokus in the
hammock or while commuting to work. The application has support for
off-line mode so now you can download the entire presentation.
Application "Jfokus 2014 Play" is available for iPad and Android.
Links to each app can be found here:

Feel free to share these with your JUG members.
To the future and beyond,

Despite its operational separation from global regions, questions linger about legal protections against U.S. data access. Competitors like Microsoft and local providers may present stronger sovereignty options.
By Steef-Jan WiggersPresentation: How to Unlock Insights and Enable Discovery Within Petabytes of Autonomous Driving Data
Kyra Mozley discusses the evolution of autonomous vehicle perception, moving beyond expensive manual labeling to an embedding-first architecture. She explains how to leverage foundation models like CLIP and SAM for auto-labeling, RAG-inspired search, and few-shot adapters. This talk provides engineering leaders a blueprint for building modular, scalable vision systems that thrive on edge cases.
By Kyra MozleyArticle Series - AI Assisted Development: Real World Patterns, Pitfalls, and Production Readiness
In this series, we examine what happens after the proof of concept and how AI becomes part of the software delivery pipeline. As AI transitions from proof of concept to production, teams are discovering that the challenge extends beyond model performance to include architecture, process, and accountability. This transition is redefining what constitutes good software engineering.
