Event Description
This month we welcome Edson Yanaga as our speaker. Edson will give a talk he calls Revisiting Effective Java.
You can get there at 6 for pizza and the presentation will begin at 7.
Revisiting Effective Java in 2018
Joshua Bloch just gifted us with the 3rd edition of "Effective Java", but almost 10 years have been past since the last edition. Now we have a whole generation of Java developers that could benefit from this knowledge - but lost the past wave. It's about time to revisit all of this wonderful content, and upgrade your skills to the latest versions of the Java platform. Join us on this deep dive session to check what is the updated Effective Java, and even add some more tips not included in the book!
Edson Yanaga, Red Hat's Director of Developer Experience, is a Java Champion and a Microsoft MVP. He is also a published author and a frequent speaker at international conferences, discussing Java, Microservices, Cloud Computing, DevOps, and Software Craftsmanship.
We'll have a Chromebook to raffle and lots of swag. Be sure to RSVP.
Thanks to Red Hat for sponsoring the pizza & beer :-)
The front door locks at 6 so text me at 321-252-9322 if it's locked and please be sure to RSVP here or on the Meetup page. ...Mike
