GatorJUG October Meeting

A good time was had by all at our October GatorJUG meeting. Kevin Neelands discussed Android Design Patterns in the context of his recent work on the job with an Android app. The lessons learned he presented were not just interesting but huge timesavers for him.

Hopefully, Curtis will give a presentation soon on some features he's particularly impressed with that are now part of the Java 7 distro, like contexts and dependency injection (CDI). Stay tuned.

 

Thanks for the informative presentation, Kevin!
