AI, LLMs, ChatGPT—these are just a few of the buzzwords of the massive revolution unfolding right now. These tools 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.
I’ve spoken with several guests at the JFall conference in the Netherlands actively working with these tools to learn more about them. And I had a chat with Grace Jansen about a recent Foojay blog post

Writing a book. Does it make you rich and famous? (#67) 1:15:28

8 weeks ago1:15:28

1:15:28

Let me share a personal story. I started experimenting with Java on a Raspberry Pi about five years ago and blogged a few articles about it. But the more I experimented, the more I wrote down, and eventually, I had written a book… I worked on it for six months in a row, every evening and a lot of weekends. But the moment I received the box with my author copies was an incredible feeling. Holding a paper book with your name is a special moment. Fast forward to now. The 1000 paper copies are sold out. I have the last 10 copies in case you still want one ;-) But as I self-published the ebook, it's still for sale on Leanpub, and I keep updating it. That's one of the first significant differences between publishing a paper book and an ebook…. As an author, I got about 2 euros per paper book from the publisher, and LeanPub pays 80% royalties. Don't forget that I have to pay taxes on what I earn. So, if you do the math, you'll understand that the book didn't make me rich. But yes, it helped me in my career and was one of the reasons I became a Java Champion. So, we can argue about the "becoming famous". But that's only my story. I invited several guests to share their knowledge about book writing: Marián Varga is finishing a book and tells about publishing a book with a publisher. Wim Deblauwe wrote a few books and has much experience with self-publishing. Len Epp is the co-founder of Leanpub, so he can tell us a lot about ebooks. And we start with Trisha Gee, who wrote a lot of books!

How do we keep our Java applications up to date and secure (#63) 43:12

18 weeks ago43:12

43:12

Last month, I published a Foojay blog post about the risks in systems that are stuck on old or outdated Java versions and got a lot of feedback from developers. Most of them want to move on but get stuck on management decisions, outdated production environments, or one of the many other reasons that keep systems stuck on old Java versions and dependencies... Do you want to bring your system from Java 8 to 23? Did you know that Java 17 already got 13 security releases? And that you can use tools like OpenRewrite to help you update your code?

Better Coding with AI: Friend or Enemy? (#62) 43:46

AI, LLMs, ChatGPT—these are just a few of the buzzwords of the massive revolution unfolding right now. These tools 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. I’ve spoken with several guests at the JFall conference in the Netherlands actively working with these tools to learn more about them.

In this Foojay podcast, we enter the world of mathematics by discussing Vectors and how they are crucial for AI and machine learning. As ChatGPT explains: "A Vector is a mathematical structure that holds numerical values. Vectors are fundamental to the field of Artificial Intelligence, as they allow mathematical operations to be performed efficiently and form the basis of many machine learning algorithms." OK, but how are these vectors crucial for the whole Artificial Intelligence evolution? This is the last podcast of season 3, we're taking a summer break and will be back in September with the release of Java 23 and much more OpenJDK-related topics!

Embedded Java, Part 2 (#55) 1:09:52

42 weeks ago1:09:52

1:09:52

As a backend developer, you may not realize that Java was initially born on embedded devices like set-top boxes and gateways. We discussed this topic for the first time almost three years ago in Foojay Podcast #2 with James Gosling, Johan Vos, Erik Costlow, and Frank Delporte (https://foojay.io/today/foojay-podcast-2/). In this episode #55, we look into the history of the Java Micro Edition and how things evolved. Nowadays, with processors becoming increasingly powerful, we can run the exact same Java runtime on any Linux system, from the biggest cloud servers to the smallest Raspberry Pi Zero. Let's find out what can be done with Java in the embedded world.
