OJUG presents Clojure with Larry Diehl Thursday 2/26


(image from http://twitter.com/JavaUsers") Greetings Orlando JUG:

Thursday is the Feb OJUG meeting. We'll be sponsored by Paul Peters of Signature Consultants, so bring your CV's if you're looking for work or req'ts if your looking for developers. Doors open at 6. It's
imperative that you RSVP here.
if you intend to come. The room only seats 20 and last month was
standing room only. I'll also send ut an announcement from CodeTown,
but I know some of you have filters at the office that prevent Ning
messages. So, this is it! Come hungry, bring a friend and enjoy.
Clojure is an interesting, terse, expressive language. I trust you'll
enjoy Larry's talk.

I'll be at the Mindview Flex Jam starting Wed. I'll be developing a website using Flex for musician Barry Sides The deal is come to Crested Butte, work
through the new, self published "First Steps in Flex", by Bruce Eckel
and James Ward,
and bring a project if you wish.
I'll have
the help of arguably the two best developers I know to produce this
website. I'll also engage the design prowess of one Erika Greco for graphics and rock steady HTML and CSS. So,
stay tuned for that.

Next week, I'll attend the Java Posse Roundup with Dick Wall, Joe Nuxoll, Carl Quinn, and Tor Norbye. There will be skiing, so cross your fingers that I make it out alive. Photos from last year here.
Also, you can browse my photostream and see more JPR shots I didn't
tag.

I'll be blogging at CodeTown and MikeLevin dot net Twittering at http://www.twitter.com/mikelevin

If you haven't signed up at CodeTown, I encourage you to do and please send invites to your friends. There's a lot going on there, so please drop your guard and post some content. It takes people to make a
community.

On March 9th, I'll present "Web2.0 and You, updated" at the Jax Linux Show. My company will have a booth there. So, plan on driving up if you can.

JavaOne is around the corner. I have some discounts available from Sun, and the JavaOne team has a contest going on for JavaOne... details below...

The JavaOne conference is always expanding--and that’s important when your company is trying to get as much as possible from every conference . . . and from you. There’s so much information available,
and the JavaOne conference gives you plenty of opportunities to
learn:

• More than 200 technical sessions packed with the latest information

• More than 100 BOFs, where you can connect with other developers facing the same challenges you are

• Hands-on Labs that let you get up close with the hottest new development techniques
