Happy reading!

In part 11 of my #JFXInAction interviews, we look at game development. #FXGL is a library created by Almas Baim that helps us create #JavaFX games. But it’s much more than games! With the integrated Goal-Oriented Action Planning (#GOAP) functionality, it can use game technology and AI to solve any goal, based on actions and preconditions. In this video, Almas live codes such a solution with a minimal amount of code!

I was honored to contribute a post to this year's #JavaAdvent. I wrote about my experiments with #Java, #JavaFX, #Kotlin, #MIDI, and #VirtualThreads for the MelodyMatrix application I'm building with my 14-year-old son.

#AI, #LLM, #ChatGPT,... are reshaping how we work, but they come with a catch: while they help us work faster and smarter, we need to be careful about placing too much trust in them...

Happy reading!

A few weeks ago, I published a blog post, "Why Java 8 is a Ticking Time Bomb Hiding Within Your Organization". I got a lot of feedback and comments, which led me to conclude that all developers want to move on but get blocked by budget, management, and/or infrastructure.

You can find all feedback and a success story in a follow-up post, "How Organizations Became Stuck on Outdated Java Versions" at https://webtechie.be/post/2024-11-21-stuck-on-outdated-java/
