Feed Description: My thoughts on Java, software development and technology.
Just thought that I'd write up a quick entry about the London Java meetup that took place last night. Unfortunately I've not been for a while, mainly because I've been working outside of London, but it was nice to see more people than usual. For me, the best thing about meeting up with like-minded people is that you get to listen to their experiences and hear how they are using the available tools, techniques and processes in their day to day jobs. Rather than summarise here, I'll be writing a few follow-up blog entries. Needless to say, we had some really good discussions over a beer or two.
One thing we need to do is promote the meetup much better. There must be thousands of Java developers working in the city and yet most people that come along kind of stumble across the meetup by accident. I have a few ideas, so watch this space.
