Hi JUG Leaders and Java Champions,

We invite you to share your experiences in development with the industry and the Java Community in Africa by submitting a proposalfor this far from the « classic » event at info@jcertif.com !


JCertif
 is a mix of technical session, training, life experience and a bit of an adventure !
The event will take place in Brazzaville, Congo on September 14-15 (for the conference only) and September 9-13 (for the University) . 

PS : Don't worry, you will be back in time for JavaOne 2013 (I will be speaking at JavaOne too :-) )

Of course could help with transportation and accommodation as well Congolese beer (N'Gok) !
Still hesitating ? Ask these Java guys about the JCertif Experience :
  • Mike Levin (keynote speaker), 
  • Alexis Mouchine (GlassFish Team now a Googler)
  • Arun Gupta (Oracle GlassFish Team), 
  • Michael Heinrichs (Oracle JavaFX Team),
  • Chris Bailey (IBM and JavaOne Rock Star 2012)
JCertif Conference and JCertif University :
  • full training and talking days
  • 110 to 120 Training sessions and programming courses (see our last year agenda)
  • 1200 - 1500 attendees for the University only
  • full community day
  • 10 Rooms
  • 70% French and 30%
Last year, hundreds of pictures have been taken and shared Google+, Facebook and other social media.
Take a look :

Presentation: Directing a Swarm of Agents for Fun and Profit

Adrian Cockcroft explains the transition from cloud-native to AI-native development. He shares his "director-level" approach to managing swarms of autonomous agents using tools like Cursor and Claude Flow. Discussing real-world experiments in BDD, MCP servers, and language porting, he discusses why the future of engineering lies in building platforms that orchestrate AI-driven development.

Article: Beyond RAG: Architecting Context-Aware AI Systems with Spring Boot

This article introduces Context-Augmented Generation (CAG) as an architectural refinement of RAG for enterprise systems. It shows how a Spring Boot-based context manager can incorporate user identity, session state, and policy constraints into AI workflows, improving traceability, consistency, and governance without altering existing retrievers or LLM infrastructure.

ESLint v10: Flat Config Completion and JSX Tracking

ESLint version 10 has removed the legacy eslintrc configuration system, finalizing a long transition to flat config. The update enhances developer experience, especially for plugin authors and monorepo teams, by changing configuration file location and improving JSX reference tracking. Node.js support has been tightened, and new assertion options have been added to the RuleTester API.

Pinterest Deploys Production-Scale Model Context Protocol Ecosystem for AI Agent Workflows

Pinterest engineering teams have deployed a production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem that allows AI agents to automate complex engineering tasks and integrate diverse internal tools. Domain-specific MCP servers, a central registry, and human-in-the-loop approval improve security, governance, and developer productivity while saving thousands of hours per month.
