How to Build Java Applications Today: January 25, 2021
My CinJUG talk about front-ends for Java developers, AdoptOpenJDK: Releases January 2021, and weekly links.
Introduction
This is issue #20 of my weekly newsletter, “How To Build Java Applications Today”. The newsletter complements my site betterprojectsfaster.com.
Last week, I gave my talk to the CinJUG about "How Should Java Developers Build Front-Ends for Web, Mobile, and Desktop Today?". The slides and links for getting started with Flutter are available. I also began work on another project. I don’t know if it will take off at all. Even if it does, its reveal is a couple of months away.
