Google has introduced significant updates to both its Flutter framework and the Dart programming language, marking the release of Flutter 3.24 and Dart 3.5 on August 6. Among the new features, one of the most notable is the early preview of the Flutter GPU API, a low-level graphics API designed for developers who want to create custom rendering solutions from the ground up. This API opens up new possibilities for building high-performance, immersive experiences by allowing developers to define their own raster pipelines and send draw calls directly to the GPU. The Flutter GPU API is integrated into the Flutter…

A proposal within the OpenJDK community is suggesting a way to enhance Java application startup times through the concept of ahead-of-time class loading. The initiative, outlined in a JDK Enhancement Proposal (JEP) titled “Ahead-of-Time Class Loading & Linking,” aims to make application classes available in a pre-loaded and pre-linked state when the HotSpot JVM starts. The main idea behind this proposal is to monitor the application during one run and cache the loaded and linked forms of all classes for future use, which would lead to faster application startups in subsequent executions. This approach is expected to also pave the…

In the previous parts of this tutorial, we successfully built a Todo application using React for the front end and Spring Boot for the back end, with a local MongoDB instance for storage. Now, we’ll focus on deploying the application into a production environment. This involves integrating MongoDB Atlas for our database, deploying the React front end on Vercel, and setting up a Spring Boot application on a virtual machine to host the back end. Additionally, we’ll explore the process of securing the back-end API with an HTTPS certificate, ensuring the application is both accessible and secure in a live…

JetBrains has rolled out the 2024.2 updates for its suite of integrated development environments (IDEs) and its AI assistant, bringing a host of new features aimed at enhancing developer productivity. The updates, unveiled on August 6, bring a more streamlined user interface (UI) across the JetBrains IDEs, improved code completion, and smarter functionality for the JetBrains AI Assistant, making it a powerful tool for developers working across various languages. The standout feature in the JetBrains AI Assistant 2024.2 is its improved code completion for Java, Kotlin, and Python, powered by JetBrains’ own large language models (LLMs). Developers will experience faster,…

Over the years, I’ve asked a question in countless meetings that often leaves everyone stumped: “How are we measuring the efficiency of this cloud architecture, and what actions are we taking to improve it?” The blank stares I receive in response often feel as if I’ve asked something entirely outlandish—like, “Where do we store the polar bears?” However, efficiency in cloud architecture is far more critical than it may initially appear, and it’s something we need to start focusing on more deliberately. In simple terms, efficiency is about achieving a desired outcome with the least possible use of resources—be it…

Imagine a future where developer productivity can be measured just like fitness progress on a smartwatch. With AI tools like GitHub Copilot, this might soon become a reality. GitHub Copilot promises to enhance developer efficiency by offering context-aware code completions and generating code snippets. By automating parts of the coding process, Copilot aims to help developers write code faster, allowing them to focus more on solving complex problems rather than getting bogged down in repetitive tasks. The tool acts like an intelligent assistant, suggesting entire lines of code, and making development more efficient for teams and individual developers alike. For…

Microsoft has launched Visual Studio Code 1.92, a significant update that brings enhancements to the debugging experience and offers developers more customization options. This version, also known as the July 2024 release, was made available on August 1 and is ready for download on Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms. Along with improved debugging, the update allows developers to choose which browser to open links in, as well as provides better control over how extensions are updated, offering a more streamlined and customizable development environment. One of the standout features of Visual Studio Code 1.92 is its focus on improving accessibility…

Python has achieved a significant milestone by reaching its highest-ever rating of 18.04% in the Tiobe index of programming language popularity for August 2024. This achievement marks Python as the first language to surpass the 18% threshold since Java in November 2016. While Java still holds the record for the highest rating ever in the index at 26.49% from June 2001, Python’s recent rise indicates its dominant position in the programming landscape. The language’s growing popularity is a testament to its versatility and accessibility in the ever-evolving tech industry. Python’s ascension to the top of the Tiobe index is no…

In 1995, JavaScript was born out of a small but ambitious vision to add interactivity to the web. Originally meant to be called Mocha or LiveScript, the language adopted the name JavaScript as a strategic move to hitch a ride on the growing popularity of Java, a language that was gaining traction at the time. Initially, JavaScript’s purpose was simple—add life to static web pages by providing dynamic elements, such as form validation. Back then, the only movement on web pages came from the <blink> tag, a relic that, while long gone, still serves as a reminder of how far…

Cloud companies are continuing to ramp up their investments in artificial intelligence (AI), even as some of their customers are beginning to question the value of their own AI-related spending. While this sense of disillusionment is understandable, it may be short-lived. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy suggests that as AI evolves, it will drive enterprises to transition more of their workloads to the cloud. He believes that “the ability to use AI more effectively” will be one of the main factors encouraging businesses to embrace cloud solutions, marking a key shift in how applications and infrastructure are handled in the coming…
