We have entered the 2025 fiscal year. This is the summary for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024.
Number of Articles and Authors
#Over the past three months, 32 articles were published. The total article count has surpassed 700, reaching 711. One new author made their writing debut, bringing the total to 64. With the busy season at the start of the year (or rather, the busy period at the end of the fiscal year), the number of posts is slightly lower. ⤵️
Series Articles
#Introduction to TypeScript for Java Engineers
#A TypeScript introduction targeting Java engineers. The 9th article in the series has been published.
The "Maven You Can't Ask Now" Series
#A series delivering tips for Maven. After a long hiatus, a new article has been published.
Articles on Specific Themes
#Robotics Related
#In the robotics category, two articles have been published.
An article providing a detailed explanation of the DQN algorithm. I believe it is useful not only for robotics.
An introduction to the domestically produced robot simulator Choreonoid.
textlint and VS Code Integration
#The following articles explain a generic mechanism for displaying CLI output within the VS Code editor, which should be helpful for those looking to implement similar functionality.
On the developer site’s writing environment, proofreading using textlint is available; however, the results were output to the terminal. Along with the publication of these articles, a pull request was created and merged into the developer site repository to display proofreading results directly within the VS Code editor. 👍 This will make proofreading much more efficient.
Generative AI Related
#Due to recent developments, there have been an increasing number of articles related to generative AI, including OpenAI and GitHub Copilot.
The issue of how to keep personal data stored in databases and logs confidential is an important topic for every company. It seems that the adoption of generative AI–powered solutions is also progressing.

The latest updates on OpenAI’s SDK.
Electronics Projects
#A story about designing circuits with a compact microcontroller, performing tight low-level programming, and crafting a remote control for a ceiling light, all housed in a small Mintia case. This has been published as a trilogy.
Diagram Series
#Various themes are explored, but a highlight of this quarter was the number of articles that use diagrams for visual explanations. In addition to text and code snippets, explanations with diagrams make the content much easier to understand.
Java Related
#A detailed explanation of Jakarta Data, which is scheduled to be added to Jakarta EE 11 this year.

#Launch of Chinese Translation Articles
#Following the English translation articles, we have also started publishing articles translated into Chinese using generative AI. Although there are fewer English translations, they have been steadily gaining traction—so we are expecting increased access from the Chinese-speaking community. Translated articles now include links to both the English and Chinese versions below the title.
In Conclusion
#That concludes the summary for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. I believe we are seeing an increase in in-depth articles that reflect the diverse expertise and interests of our authors.
