Code One CFP Deadline Extended
For those of you interested in going to Java One, now known as Code One, the call for papers has been extended a week.
This year, Code One will have much more than just Java. You'll find Python and Go, R and much more.
Take a look at the agenda and think about going. And, for an even more exciting time, think about submitting a proposal for a presentation, training or workshop.

Happy 10th year, JCertif!
