About SeneJUG Town
SeneJUG Town is here for you. To begin with, you can customize your homepage. Each member has a blog. When you post a blog, it is also displayed on the Codetown homepage! You can create Discussions, add Comments, upload multimedia, join other Groups and use the powerful Invite feature to ask your friends and colleagues to join.
Since we're the West African JUG, a large group geographically, there are many distant members you can stay in touch with through this Group. Look for members in France and Morocco, too!
We look forward to seeing the miles between us grow smaller, virtually. All the best!
