Codetown ::: a software developer's community
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

Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.
