I've launched The Coding Café on Substack: https://lnkd.in/gtkcVUR2
The subscription is growing rapidly!
☕ What to expect:
- Deep dives into Java features
- LLMs and AI with Java experiments (LangChain4j and beyond!)
- Trendy stuff that matters
Join me to get LLMs and Java in your mailbox weekly!
Built an AI Chrome extension that fills forms intelligently! 🚀
FormPilot uses: - Local LLMs (privacy-first)
- RAG for personalization
- Java Spring Boot backend
- Zero API costs.

🚀 Spring founder Rod Johnson just launched Embabel, and Java developers can finally build AI agents without Python!
This isn't just another wrapper. It's a production-ready, type-safe AI framework built on Spring that utilizes gaming AI algorithms (GOAP) to enhance the intelligence and reliability of agents.
The killer features:
Give it a read.
Excited to share my latest item on InfoQ about JDK 23 entering Rampdown Phase One. Explore the new features and enhancements coming to Java development.

JEP 455, Primitive Types in Patterns, instanceof, and switch (Preview), has been promoted from Proposed to Target to Targeted for JDK 23. This JEP, under the auspices of Project Amber, proposes to enhance pattern matching by allowing primitive type patterns in all pattern contexts, and extend instanceof and switch to work with all primitive types.

JEP 447, Statements before super(...) (Preview), has been delivered for JDK 22 after its review concluded. This JEP, which is part of Project Amber, aims to allow statements before super() calls in constructors without referencing an instance being created while still maintaining the safety and initialization guarantees for constructors.

After its review concluded, JEP 447, Statements before super(...) (Preview), was delivered for JDK 22. This JEP, under Project Amber, proposes to allow statements that do not reference an instance being created to appear before super() calls in a constructor and preserve existing safety and initialization guarantees for constructors.
Two of my talks got accepted at #ConFoo in Montreal.
- A tale of two cities: blocking code vs. non-blocking code
- Breaking Java Stereotypes: It's Not Your Dad's Language
Check out the schedule:
Join me at ConFoo!!
Just had an enlightening chat with Cay Horstmann on his journey with Java, the intricacies of writing technical books, and his unique perspective on teaching Java. Check it out for insights on Java's evolving role in education! #Java #Programming #Education
JEP 440, finalizing Record Patterns, has been promoted from Proposed to Target to Targeted status for JDK 21, following feedback-driven enhancements in JEP 432 and JEP 405. Record patterns now allow for powerful data navigation and processing when used with type patterns. The main change from JEP 432 is the removal of record patterns in the header of an enhanced for statement.
