OrlandoJUG - Got Java 8? March meeting Thursday!

Hello OrlandoJUG!

This is a friendly reminder that our March 2014 meeting is happening day after tomorrow at DeVry U at 6PM. Come on out and be part of a great talk about the new Java 8 features. Adam Davis will be our guest speaker. He's written a book on Java 8 and you can read it online for free at the link in the event announcement here on Codetown.

That's it - just look at the bottom of the announcement and you'll see a link to not just one but 3 books Adam has written. By the way, his publisher has a sweet deal for authors. 

Come on out, invite a friend. There are usually recruiters, too so bring a resume if you want. Also, please spread the word because these presentations are too good to pass up!

I look forward to seeing many of you there Thursday...at DeVry U. Thanks, DeVry. Thanks, Orlando! 

All the best,

Michael Levin

OrlandoJUG Chairman

Thanks, Adam. Thanks for the presentation
on Java 8. I've seen multiple Java 8 reviews and this one was very clear and easy to understand.
