Profile Information
- How did you hear about Codetown?
- I attended meetings while working for Consultis about a year ago and wanted to return.
- What are your main interests in software development?
- I am interested in speaking with developers and learning more about Java in particular. I enjoyed the meetings and it is great when a lay person (recruiter) like me starts to "get it"!!
- Do you have a website?
- http://softwareresources.com
- Anything else you'd like to add? Where do you live? (optional!)
- If I can become involved in the group and sponsor meetings that would be fantastic. I would like to be of some service to the group if possible.
Happy 10th year, JCertif!
