Migrating from Oracle DB to PostgreSQL isn't just a database swap — your Java app needs updated dependencies, configuration changes, and verified behavior. In this episode, watch how the GitHub Copilot app modernization extension handles a database migration end to end, from setting up the app and fixing bugs on the fly to executing the migration task in IntelliJ.

In this episode, you'll learn:
→ How to migrate a Java application's database from Oracle DB to PostgreSQL using GitHub Copilot
→ How to use the app modernization extension in IntelliJ (installed via plugins or the ACPI registry)
→ How Copilot in agent mode analyzes your project, identifies dependencies, and sets up the environment
→ How the tool catches and fixes bugs during setup — like date format issues and README corrections
→ How to use the built-in database migration task to update dependencies, configurations, and function calls
→ How to manually verify app behavior before and after migration

📺 This is Episode 4 of the Modernize Java Apps with AI series — a 9-part, hands-on guide to upgrading legacy Java applications using GitHub Copilot.

Ground every Microsoft 365 Copilot response in your real work data. Pull context from SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, email, and meetings — all through Work IQ. Draft Word documents that carry your existing sensitivity labels, and resolve calendar conflicts in Outlook. Run multi-step Copilot Cowork workflows that generate files, schedule meetings, and send status updates from a single prompt.

Extend the same knowledge layer to ServiceNow, CRMs, and other non-Microsoft systems with API and MCP Server connectors in the Microsoft 365 admin center, or build your own agents in code against the Work IQ API.

Jeremy Chapman, Microsoft 365 Director, shares how data, context, and skills & tools combine into a single grounding layer for Copilot and your custom agents.

Nalu.Maui is a powerful library that fixes .NET MAUI Shell navigation's biggest pain points — and adds layouts, controls, and high-performance scrolling on top.

In this video, I walk through TaskFlow, a task manager app built specifically to showcase what Nalu can do. Nalu replaces string-based Shell navigation with a fluent, compile-time-safe API. No more GoToAsync("//page") guesswork. It also brings ILeavingGuard for unsaved changes protection, scoped service lifetimes per page, and a built-in leak detector.

Beyond navigation, Nalu includes VirtualScroll (backed by RecyclerView/UICollectionView), layout helpers like ToggleTemplate, ExpanderViewBox, and HorizontalWrapLayout, plus controls like DurationWheel.
