If I offered to finish the site in a week, would my client need further justification :-)
A timeshare reservation site would be fairly trivial from a technology perspective. For the web front-end, I would use Compojure, just as I did with the Wari contest. For database access, I would use clojure.contrib.sql, which has the same capabilities as java.sql but without being so incredibly verbose.
Architecture is important for big projects. This isn't a big project.
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Microsoft announced in August 2025 that support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is generally available in Visual Studio. MCP enables AI agents within Visual Studio to connect to external tools and services via a consistent protocol.
By Edin KapićDeepSeek AI has developed DeepSeek-OCR, an open-source system that uses optical 2D mapping to compress long text passages. This approach aims to improve how large language models (LLMs) handle text-heavy inputs.
By Robert KrzaczyńskiCoral NPU is an open-source full-stack platform designed to help hardware engineers and AI developers overcome the limitations that prevent integrating AI in wearables and edge devices, including performance, fragmentation, and user trust.
By Sergio De SimoneLeander Vanderbijl explains how Kry navigated its scale-up phase to fix a complex, highly dependent "spiderweb" architecture. He shares the journey of applying Domain-Driven Design principles to group functionality and refactor existing services in situ, without stopping development. Key takeaways include moving from product-centric to functionality-centric design and using the FHIR model.
By Leander VanderbijlGoogle Cloud published a guide that lays out strategies for securing remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server deployments, particularly in contexts where AI systems depend on external tools, databases, and APIs.
