- How did you hear about Codetown?
- Dr. Archibald at Valencia College
- What are your main interests in software development?
- I'm going back to school for a degree in Computer Programming with an emphasis in Java after my bosses saw that I had a decent grasp of debugging and an interest in making things work more effectively. Now I just like seeing what options are out there and coming up with new ideas and solutions through code.

OJUG Meeting Questions
Posted on July 30, 2017 at 2:09pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
Hi All,
I'm interested in attending an OJUG meeting, but I don't see any on the events page. Am I missing something? Is there a standard meeting location I'm not seeing?
Also, do you all do anything through the Meetup app at all? Would you like me to post programming or tech meetups that I see in my groups for the Orlando area? I saw that Michael added PyCon, but there are others out there that may be interesting as well and I'd be happy to help fill the Events page for people…
ContinueHappy 10th year, JCertif!
