Marco will talk about application scaling, and after that, you will hear Yuriy's nuggets of advice on Project Rea

The pace of software development is accelerating and the cost of weak code security (vulnerabilities) can be really high. That's why mitigating vulnerability risks is a must for everyday development. For a while now, JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA has featured the Dependency Checker plugin powered by Checkmarx. The plugin identifies vulnerable packages and helps you secure your app before deployment, when it is too late to protect your code.   How does it work in practice? Mala Gupta, together with guests Or Chen and Guy Lyuboshits from Checkmarx invite you to see what Checkmarx Depen

Java Modules have many benefits. They enable you to encapsulate packages and related resources and define strict accessibility rules. Introduced in Java 9 as the Java Platform Module System, or JPMS, Java Modules have proven to be somewhat tricky to use, even for experienced developers. During his guest appearance at our next IntelliJ IDEA Live Stream, Nicolai Parlog will teach us about modules. He’ll explain what they are, why we should use them, and when it is better not to. Register for the show and join us on Wednesday, July 27, at 5:00 pm CEST / 3:00 pm UTC. REGISTER FOR THE WEBINAR

Kafka is a great alternative for fast an

Hello in June! This month we will try to predict the future and say something about OpenJDK 19. We’ll read Kotlin books, recap recent conferences, and maybe even make a plan to go to one. Let’s start catching up with recent news and articles!

JAM started more than eight years ago with the publication of the first issue of the Java Annotated Monthly on May 5, 2014. In this time, an amazing group of authors – Trisha Gee, Dalia Abo Sheasha, Andrey Cheptsov, Helen Scott, and Irina Maryasova – has curated over 100 collections of JVM news. In January 2022 I took the reins, and since then I've been responsible for delivering Java Annotated Monthly to your doorstep. I'm grateful to my predecessors for their work and thankful to those who contribute with content and feedback. I am really proud of this project and glad that the commun

Most machine learning (ML) toolkits require knowing Python. Although this is one of the leading programming languages in data science and ML, you can find several convenient alternatives. In the next IntelliJ IDEA Live Stream, we will create an ML model step-by-step using only JSR-381. Our two guests, Frank Greco and Zoran Sevarac, will show us how to simplify ML in Java. Join us on Wednesday, May 25, at 17:00 CET / 15:00 UTC.
