Learning JavaScript After Java: 3 Key Reminders for Developers (From “Car” to “Carpet”)
In this post, I’ll walk through a few key reminders that helped me while making the transition from Java to JavaScript, especially while working with React and React Native.
Project Valhalla: What It Means for Java Performance
Project Valhalla is changing how Java works. For years, Java has been safe and easy to use. But it often uses more memory than needed. That slowed down apps that process lots of data. This project is part of the OpenJDK. Its goal is to make Java faster and leaner. New tools like value types, inline classes, and generic specialization …
Post-Quantum Cryptography Support in Java
Quantum computers are advancing, and they could soon break the encryption that protects today’s data. RSA and ECC, which are standard today, may not stand up to quantum attacks. This makes post-quantum cryptography a key part of planning for long-term security. Java is already preparing for this future. New updates in the JDK add support for quantum-safe algorithms, giving developers …
AI in Coding: Using ChatGPT and Copilot to Build JavaScript Animations
Artificial intelligence isn’t just changing how we write code—it’s transforming how we think about creativity in development. In this post, I revisit the playful spirit of early programming through a series of AI-assisted experiments using ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and JavaScript Canvas on CodePen. Along the way, I uncover practical lessons for developers on using AI to accelerate learning, inspire exploration, and rekindle the joy of creative coding…
