I started this newsletter as a way to keep myself writing each and every week. I have a blog that I like to write for but a blog post can be a lot of a pressure. This is a no pressure way for me to write and in the meantime connect with you on a weekly basis. Enter your email below to recieve my weekly newsletter every Monday morning.
Happy Monday and welcome to another edition of The Beehive! This week is particularly exciting as I'll be speaking at Microsoft's JDConf 2025 with two sessions – one live for our night owl friends in the Asia-Pacific region, and another on-demand covering the latest Spring innovations.
Happy Monday! This week's edition is packed with AI advancements and Java updates. Learn how to build a custom MCP server from scratch with Spring AI to connect your tools to models like Claude, and hear about MCP's momentum with OpenAI's support. We'll also share highlights from our chat with Billy Korando about exciting JDK 24 features, and dive into the fun (and impressive results) of OpenAI's new built-in image generator in ChatGPT.
Happy Monday and welcome to another edition of the newsletter. I'm back at my desk this week after an amazing trip to JavaOne in San Francisco and I can't wait to tell you all about it.
Are you ready for Java's biggest upgrade of the year? JDK 24 lands on Tuesday, bringing 24 powerful JEPs that will transform how we build applications. As Java celebrates its 30th birthday, I'm packing my bags for JavaOne in San Francisco, where I'll be speaking about bridging the gap between Java and frontend development. This newsletter is packed with technical insights you won't want to miss—from unlocking AI potential with Spring AI to monitoring token usage in your LLM applications. Between my return to YouTube after a month-long hiatus and fresh tutorials on Google Gemini integration, we've got plenty to explore. Whether you're curious about quantum-resistant cryptography or struggling with structured LLM outputs, this edition has something to elevate your development workflow.
Happy Monday and welcome to another edition of the newsletter. It has been a busy few weeks for me giving presentations at conferences, for customers and some online meetups.
