Good news!
Ben King (Keep It Simple Tech) keeps an eye on his app....on his watch. His company, Keep It Simple Tech launched app ABC, Always Be in Contact recently. It's cool! Try it out.
How did he do it? Well, it's not a one man show. There's also an incubator involved. How about the development model? Join us at the next GatorJUG and learn all about smartphone SDLC.
All of us are inevitably wondering whether to make the leap to smart watches if we haven't already.
And, GatorJUG folks are thinking beyond buying the watches or downloading the apps. We're thinking about making the apps! For sure! That's what we do.
It's springtime and the backyard at First Magnitude is where we'll meet next Wednesday, from 6-9PM. Please RSVP here at the event announcement.
We have a new sponsor: JSPTester. JSPTester is a Java testing tool to help you test your JSP. According to the website, "JSPTester is a web-based tool for the isolated testing and prototyping of JSP pages! JspTester™ seamlessly integrates with your web application, allowing you to test the rendering of JSP pages by injecting request parameters, model attributes and session variables without the need of business logic or an MVC controller." Check it out here: http://www.JSPTester.com
Thanks to JSPTester, we'll have some dee-licious munchies.
Cambridge Web Design is an official GatorJUG sponsor. CWD ::: Working Software Developers...since 1997!
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.

GitHub has introduced the GitHub Copilot app, a desktop control centre for agent-native development that aims to keep engineers in charge while AI agents handle more coding work. Mario Rodriguez writes on the GitHub blog that the recent wave of coding agents has brought faster delivery but also "disjointed workflows, more context switching, and too much time spent reviewing agent-generated code".

Paul Klein discusses the distributed systems challenges of scaling cloud-hosted browser infra for AI agents. He explains how to manage bursty, stateful multi-tenancy and secure Chromium environments against remote code execution using Firecracker. He also shares how to leverage the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to turn complex websites into accessible agentic tools.

Stack Overflow has announced Stack Overflow for Agents, a beta API-first knowledge exchange aimed at AI coding agents rather than human developers. The service is presented as a way to close what the company calls the Ephemeral Intelligence Gap, where agents repeatedly rediscover the same fixes and patterns in isolation instead of sharing them through a common memory.

PostgreSQL 19 Beta has been announced, with general availability expected in September, following the project's yearly major-release cadence. This release introduces native SQL Property Graph Queries (SQL/PGQ), concurrent table repacking to reclaim storage without downtime, and a broad set of performance, observability, and administration improvements.
