Hello folks,
Want to hear about new Java APIs and some of the decisions made at the recent JavaOne? Ed burns and I will be presenting some of our recent work and findings after JavaOne 2017. Join us at the Canvs location. It is rumored that pizza will be provided. Don't miss out. Come chill, relax, eat some pizza and enjoy Java goodness.
See you there!…
