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:

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.

AWS Lambda Rust Support Reaches General Availability

AWS has elevated Rust support in Lambda from experimental to generally available, empowering developers to create high-performance, memory-safe serverless applications. This milestone enhances developer confidence, backed by AWS support and SLA. While it offers speed comparable to C++, challenges such as lengthy SDK compile times and increased binary sizes remain key considerations.

Developing and Deploying Software in a Sustainable Way

Sustainable APIs benefit most from minimalism, Jochen Joswig said at OOP Conference . Deployment should consider energy, usage, carbon intensity, hardware acquisition. Remote work, long device lifespans, and green office practices can lower emissions. Efficient CI, selective builds, smaller artefacts, and optimized assets can further reduce energy use.
