  Thanks to CheerpJ and WebAssembly you can now run a Java IDE inside your browser and local first.This is SnapCode, and while lightweight and in-browser, is to be not underestimated. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/80-java/17004-snapcode-a-java-ide-for-the-web.html

  Oracle has recently introduced some goodies for developers working with VS Code. This is an extension that integrates the venerable SQL Developer within VS Code. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/17000-oracle-sql-developer-for-vs-code.html

  The talks presented at the 4th JChampions Conference which took place between Jan 25 to Jan 30, are now available for free on YouTube. Topics ranged from Code and Tech to Career Advice. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/80-java/16995-jconference-january-2024-sessions-now-online.html

TornadoInsight is plugin for Jetbrain's popular Intellij IDE for Java developers, that makes working with TornadoVM a much smoother experience. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/80-java/16989-tornadoinsight-brings-the-power-of-tornadovm-inside-intellij-.html

  pgxman is a package manager like npm, but instead of Javascript packages, it is for PostgreSQL extensions. It detects and streamlines extension operations and looks after dependency management, installation and uninstallation, based on the local development environment. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/84-database/16984-pgxman-postgresql-extension-manager.html

  Stanchion is an open-source extension that adds columnar storage capabilities to SQLite, rendering it efficient for analytical reporting. Postgres is often praised for its extensibility, but we tend to forget that others, such as SQLlite, are extensible too. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/84-database/16976-stanchion-turns-sqlite-into-a-column-store.html

  Microsoft has released a short series of video tutorials on using Git and Github from within Visual Studio. Given that Git is nowadays the defacto version control tool with most code hosted on GitHub, learning about them in combination does make sense.  https://www.i-programmer.info/news/80-java/16967-microsofts-visual-studio-with-git-and-github-tutorials.html

  CheerpJ is a Java-to-Javascript runtime and compiler that can convert any Java application to HTML5 for in-browser rendering. Version 3.0 has been fully rewritten from scratch. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/80-java/16960-cheerpj-30-run-java-apps-inside-the-browser.html

  Introducing a new JavaScript library that makes running fully blown WebAssembly applications on the browser an easy task. WebAssembly was touted as a runtime that would be embedded into every major web browser in order to write code in any language that could be compiled to its bytecode format. Using it, the popular browsers would be able to execute not just JavaScript but also compiled binaries, hence the second label that was attached to it - the JavaScript killer. . https://www.i-programmer.info/news/87-web-development/16952-wasmer-js-sdk-webassembly-in-the-browser.html
