Free Webinar: Making AI useful for Java developers in Real Applications with BoxLang!

Fri, 29 May 2026 15:43:47 +0000

AI is everywhere right now, but for many development teams, the biggest question is no longer “What is AI?” it’s “How do we actually use it in real applications in a secure, practical, and maintainable way?”

That’s exactly what we’ll explore in our upcoming free June webinar:

Making AI Useful in Real Applications

A Practical Guide to Secure and Effective AI Development

Join Bill Reese, Senior Developer at Ortus Solutions , for a practical session focused on bringing AI into real-world applications using BoxLang and modern JVM development patterns.

Build Agents, RAG Pipelines & Multi-Model Workflows — One API, Zero Lock-In

Modern enterprises want to move fast with AI—but juggling different providers, SDKs, formats, and deployment models quickly becomes complex and brittle.

That’s why we’re excited to announce our upcoming webinar:

Unlock Enterprise AI on the JVM: Build Agents, RAG Pipelines & Multi-Model Workflows with BoxLang AI One API, Zero Lock-In Led by Luis Majano

In this session, you’ll discover BoxLang AI , an open-source library that brings unified, fluent AI orchestration to the JVM ecosystem. With a single, intuitive API, BoxLang AI lets you integrate 12+ leading AI providers (including OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Ollama, Groq, and more), switch models, or combine them into advanced workflows—without rewriting your code.

Webinar: "Moving Applications From JDK 21 to JDK 25: What You Need to Know"

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 14:14:32 +0000

JDK 25 has arrived as the latest long-term support (LTS) release for Java, bringing performance improvements and enhanced stability for modern applications. If your organization is running JDK 21, now is the time to start planning your migration path.

Why Upgrade?

Each new LTS release represents years of refinements, optimizations, and new capabilities. JDK 25 builds on the foundation of JDK 21 while delivering the reliability that enterprise applications demand. But understanding what’s changed—and what might break—is essential for a smooth transition.

JetBrains and Azul Collaborate on Kotlin Performance in Various JVMs

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 07:11:44 +0000

JetBrains and Azul are collaborating on a shared vision of running Kotlin-generated bytecode on a high-performance Java platform to find new ways to enhance runtime performance. Benchmarks of Kotlin performance on Azul Platform Prime have yielded some eye-opening results.

In this article you will learn:

Kotlin is a high-level programming language designed to interoperate fully with the JVM
Runtime performance and scalability are derived predominantly from the JVM
JetBrains and Azul benchmarked Kotlin on both standard OpenJDK and on Azul Platform Prime, a high-performance Java platform
Platform Prime reduced latencies by 23.9% and improved throughput by as much as 30.5%

As modern JVMs combine language features and runtime optimizations, they unlock new levels of performance.

Foojay Webinar: Java's Place in the AI Revolution

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 15:53:25 +0000

This first online Foojay Webinar highlights Java’s place in the AI revolution, focusing on exploring AI/ML using pure Java tools.

AI and Machine Learning (ML) are becoming essential in modern software development. For Java developers, there’s no need to switch technology stacks. It’s now possible to build, train, and deploy ML models using tools available directly within the Java ecosystem.
