Peace, Michael, thx for adding me. I've hung out with OJUG, appreciate Codetown's meetup and social tools. I'm planning to try some professional blogging on the site!
Thank you for welcoming me into the community. I'm still a student at Valencia, and will start at UCF in the summer. I want to start building relationships within the community. This seemed like a good first step.
Hi Mike, it's great to meet you. I just left you a voice-mail as well. I would definitely be interested in posting out open positions. Please let me know the appropriate steps. We are looking to hire quickly so any help you can offer would be great. We are located in CANVS in downtown Orlando. Thanks!
Thanks so much Michael for your warm welcome! I look forward to meeting you soon as well as other members of the group at the upcoming Orlando meeting on February 20! Have a wonderful day!
Thanks! I would have come to Sarasota for the event, even though it's a bit of a haul, if only because I'm an amature brewer myself. I hardly know anything about Java except for the basics and the awareness from a decade of work that I can do (nearly?) anything in Java which I know how to do in C#. From there, it's just about learning what's common in the community and picking up tips and tricks from the experts.
Hi Michael, I'm a Software Engineer at the company. I work on email development, various data driven projects, reports web services, etc. Pretty much anything programming. Thanks for welcoming me!
