So pumped that so many facilitators have stood up

Last night we rebooted CJUG for 2016 and it just awesome. Peter McNeil has been sustaining this group for over 18 years and is finally taking some time out to finish renovating his house!!! Such a legend!

Peter had awesome prizes to give away

The good news is that a whole bunch of us are stepping to form a team to take it on this year. And the first meeting was a scream! If you’re keen to give a talk this year, make sure you touch base with us on the new Meetup page.

Great turnout last night, and had talks ranging from immutable functions, to PaaS, to HTML5 Games, to SmallTalks, to JEE, to Node, to the Web. It was an awesome night and great to see a bunch of new visitors and old friends.

Smalltalkin'

This year is shaping up to be a cracker. We have talks coming together for the next few month including:

  • Microservices with Play
  • Java8 & Functional Java
  • Reactive Java with Rx
  • Debugging tricks and tips
  • DevOps and Cloud
  • BigData tools and landscape
  • Android and Mobile Dev
  • Midyear Flashtalks Redux
  • < your talk here? >

It’s going to be a fantastic year of networking, sharing, and inspiration. If you live in Canberra, come on over and hang out!

Node Wikis anyone?
