Last night's OrlandoJUG was great!

The January 2015 Ojug was great! It was particularly good to meet at Eden Bar, next to www.enzian.org under the shady oak trees.
We talked about functional programming and a framework Greg Groves is using. Greg gave some examples of Reactive programming: stringing methods together. 
We talked about big data, Hadoop and Spark.  Duane Steward is in healthcare so examples were health related. 
David Harris talked about 2 coworking places in Orlando people can use, the rates and what they're like: Canvs and the CoLab. There are incubators, too.
We all talked about upcoming conferences including Oscon, Open Source Bridge, WTF (the new name for the Java Posse Roundup) and ones in Florida: Barcamp, a Ruby conf in St Augustine sponsored by Hashrocket called Ancient City Ruby because St Aug is the oldest city in the USA. 
We talked about Codetown and Meetup's popularity and whether to use Meetup to spread the word about Ojug.
Duane said he'd give a presentation about simulation using the Russian made software Anylogic.
Matt brought both a Galaxy Note 3 and an iPhone 5. They both fit in a front pants pocket! Amazing.  He likes the Note 3 even though it's an older model. 
We talked about Android development environments, Bluemix, the slowness of Eclipse and IntelliJ. 
Matt said Deloitte opened a big office here in Orlando and is hiring. 
Someone saw a Google sign on a door of an office in Celebration so we vowed to investigate.
