Happy reading, and have a lovely #Java weekend!

I published the first release of MelodyMatrix, a #JavaFX desktop app that lets you experience music in a new way with real-time MIDI recording, multiple visualization views, and powerful playback features. Together with Steve Hannah, the creator of #jDeploy, we finetuned the project and GitHub Actions to build V1.0.0 live on camera!

Happy reading, and have a lovely #Java weekend!

I wrote an article for JAVAPRO about the Foreign Function and Memory (FFM) API, added in #Java 22, and how it got used to add a new and better plugin to @pi4j

#JavaOnRaspberryPi

Are you at #VoxxedDays Amsterdam and want to talk about anything Java related for the @foojay podcast? Join me, I'm in front of room 10.

New @pi4j video with Tom Aarts!

We dive into hardware testing with the Pi4J Smoke Test, use it to reproduce a virtual thread pinning bug in the #Java #FFM plugin, and take a first look at the Ikalogic SE254 logic analyser for visualising PWM and SPI signals on the wire.

Also, some honest thoughts on AI-assisted coding and the context-switching trap that comes with it.
