OrlandoJUG August - Apache Spark with Carol McDonald

Hello OrlandoJUG!

We're having our meeting this Thursday instead of the 4th Th. We'll meet at DeVry Univ, 4000 Millennia Blvd in room 116. We'll network from 6-7 and the presentation will begin around 7, so no worries if you can't get there by 6.

All the details are at the announcement: http://www.codetown.com/events/orlandojug-17

Please RSVP so I'll know how much pizza to order! The Orlando Tech meetup is also Thursday, so I know some of you will be there. This was the only night Carol could make it and we're absolutely delighted to have her as a speaker. She lives in Jacksonville, so it's a treat to have her down here in Orlando for a presentation.

Carol worked as a Java Evangelist with Sun and traveled the world for years giving talks. She's also an experienced developer!

As always, I hope to see many of you Thursday. Feel free to bring a friend and spread the word!

All the best,

Michael Levin
