Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Hello OrlandoJUG!
Don't forget - tomorrow's our March meeting. Dave Moskowitz is the founder of the SunJUG is Sarasota. He's a long time Java developer. This should be a great meeting.
Also, we're meeting at PowerDMS, on the 3rd floor of the Church Street Station building. You can take the SunRail if you like. There's parking right in front of the building and along the streets. It's a cool venue. We've never met at PowerDMS before and I want to thank them in advance for the hospitality.
We've got a new sponsor: JSPTester. Check 'em out at http://jsptester.com/. Javier is the point person at JSPTester and a Codetown member. I am interested to hear what you think of JSPTester.
Thanks to JSPTester's generous donation, we'll have some delicious pizza and the PowerDMS beer tap will be open, too. Remind me to bring cups and plates.
