Colliding Communities, Cloud Native, and Telecommunications Standards
What happens when an ecosystem driven from the bottom up collides with a community characterized by top-down development? The 5g broadband cellular network standard by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the Network Function Virtualization (NFV) standard by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), and the Service Function Chain RFC (request for comments) are examples.

PHP 8 - Classes and Enums
In this article, we will review new PHP 8 features related to classes, including enums, used to specify an enumerated list of possible values for a type; the new readonly modifier for a class property, which makes the property unmodifiable after its initialization; and constructor parameter promotion, useful to assign a constructor parameter value to an object property automatically.

Java Champion Josh Long on Spring Framework 6 and Spring Boot 3
Microservices show where Java lags behind other languages. Reactive programming provides a concise DSL to express the movement of state and to write concurrent, multithreaded code with better scaling. Developing in Spring Boot works well even without special tooling support. Josh Long is excited about Project Loom, Java optimization in Project Leyden, and Foreign-Function access in Project Panama.

Who Moved My Code? An Anatomy of Code Obfuscation
In this article, we introduce the topic of code obfuscation, with emphasis on string obfuscation. Obfuscation is an important practice to protect source code by making it unintelligible. Obfuscation is often mistaken with encryption, but they are different concepts. In the article we will present a number of techniques and approaches used to obfuscate data in a program.

Separation of Concerns in Node.js
In Node.js you can structure your code however you want. There is no "correct way". You have the option of writing all of your code in a single app.js file or creating multiple files and placing them in different folders. Most developers, however, would recommend structuring your projects by grouping related data together rather than having it all together.

Virtual Panel: the New US-EU Data Privacy Framework
Recent rulings by several European courts have set important precedents for restricting personal data transmission from the EU to the US. As a consequence, the US and EU have started working on a new agreement. In this virtual panel, three knowledgeable experts discuss where the existing agreements fall short, and whether a new privacy agreement could improve the current situation.

Turning a Node.js Monolith into a Monorepo without Disrupting the Team
Splitting monoliths into services creates complexity in maintaining multiple repositories (one per service) with separate (yet interdependent) build processes and versioning history. Monorepos have become a popular solution to reduce that complexity.
