Nem, Very nice! I have bookmarked the Grails web app. Do you have any comments regarding how development went? Any lessons learned to tell?
Nem, This would be a great case study for GatorJUG. Let's talk! /mike
I'm just about to reserve a venue for 12 months of 2013 on the second Wed of each month! <hint>Call for speakers...</hint>
That sounds good, Nem. Thanks. Of the three, the Grails app would be first case study choice, the Android app second and the Atmosphere app third. That is, unless you'd like to talk about them as 2 case studies: the Grails/Android G'Ville Events apps and the Atmosphere app. We get the best turnout with more standard presentations these days, rather than very unique topics.
The next GatorJUG meeting is Wed, January 9th.

I'd be glad to talk about my projects. I have another project that i think would be very interesting to talk about. It is another Grails project that uses atmosphere https://github.com/Atmosphere/
Perfect. If you give me a bio and abstract, I'll do the rest. Second Wed of Jan is 1/9.
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.

Matthew Card discusses the intersection of leadership and inclusivity at the BBC. He explains how "changing the bar" rather than just raising it can transform team dynamics. Covering trust, psychological safety, and his "C.A.P.S." and "D.O.S.E." frameworks for resilience, he shares practical strategies for engineering leaders to eliminate toxic behaviors and empower diverse talent to thrive.

Agoda recently described how it consolidated multiple independent data pipelines into a centralized Apache Spark-based platform to eliminate inconsistencies in financial data. The company implemented a multi-layered quality framework that combines automated validations, machine-learning-based anomaly detection, and data contracts, while processing millions of daily booking transactions.

Cursor introduced a new approach to minimize the context size of requests sent to large language models. Called dynamic context discovery, this method moves away from including large amounts of static context upfront, allowing the agent to dynamically retrieve only the information it needs. This reduces token usage and limits the inclusion of potentially confusing or irrelevant details.

Vercel has open-sourced bash-tool that provides a Bash execution engine for AI agents, enabling them to run filesystem-based commands to retrieve context for model prompts.

Declarative infrastructure config hides complexity, enabling developers to focus on application code. Unified YAML per service allows early cost validation, while independent CI with centralized CD balances team autonomy and deployment consistency. This standardized approach scales across organizations, making infrastructure invisible and operations automatic.
