Java Certification ::: Do you want a Meetup this Friday 6/21/19?
Future JUG meeting proposal
Interested in Java Certification? Jim Clark helped write the exam! He’s just back from travel so won’t be able to make our normal date on the last Thursday. But if at least 10 of you reply to me that you’d attend a Friday, June 21, 2019 OJUG Meetup, I’ll see whether I can arrange it.
Here’s the info:
“Last December I was involved in a task force to help develop the new Java 11 Certification exams for Oracle. I am now available to talk about this at the OJUG meetings when you want.”
Here’s the announcement from Tampa Jug:
Join me at Java SE 11 Certification http://meetu.ps/e/GyR6k/1sqG/a
==============
Let me know! Otherwise, we’ll meet in July.
See ya!
