Profile Information
- How did you hear about Codetown?
- I went to a JUG meeting, and I found out there's a "facebook for coders". I don't have a facebook, but a facebook for coders doesn't sound so bad.
- What are your main interests in software development?
- right now, I'm just interested in learning as many languages as I can as well as I can (I'm decent at C++ and Perl, and I can say hello world in Java, Python, Lisp, Haskell, JavaScript, Ruby, and C#), and getting some practical coding experience under my belt. as far as projects go, I'm not good enough at either relevant language (C++/C#) to program games for my phone, but that's probably what I'll end up doing a lot of over the next year.
well, that and learning some of this new XHTML stuff (last time I wrote HTML was almost a decade ago. I hear it's changed) and figuring out CGI.pm, so I can put up a web site.
- Do you have a website?
- http://bit.ly/codeman
- Anything else you'd like to add? Where do you live? (optional!)
- I don't care what anyone says, I still think JavaScript.onMouseOver is a funny way to play internet pranks on people.
Happy 10th year, JCertif!

By Gianmarco NalinBuilding a European Cloud Orchestration Platform within an Enterprise
Modern cloud deployments involve many tools with different lifecycles, creating a heavy burden on engineers. The Kubernetes ecosystem offers a unified Control Plane approach. Sharing best practices through tech talks and inner-source collaboration can create an engaged community and drive adoption.
By Ben LindersPresentation: Rust at the Core - Accelerating Polyglot SDK Development
Spencer Judge discusses the architectural pattern of building a shared core in Rust with language-specific layers on top. Drawing from his work on Temporal's SDKs, he shares lessons on navigating FFI boundaries, bridging async concepts, and managing memory safely. He explains the limitations of native extensions and how emerging tech like WebAssembly can streamline cross-language architecture.
