About HJUG

The Java User Groups Community is the meeting point for JUGs, helping promote the expansion of the worldwide Java Community. Here, you'll see fresh and timely online content targeted for Java User Groups, and share your experience with other JUGs. JUG leaders and JUG members - from expert developers to Java newbies - can share information about creating, joining and running a JUG. And because of a strong partnership between the JUGs Community and Sun Microsystems Technology Outreach Group, you'll also have direct access to Sun's best JUG resources, from speakers to information to giveaways.

HJUG is dedicated to the use of the JavaTM Technology. We are one of the many Java User Groups worldwide. HJUG thanks Rice University Computer Science Department, Professors Dan Wallach and Robert 'Corky' Cartwright for their continuous sponsorship.

HJUG also thanks the Computer Science Technology Department of Houston Community College System, especially Abbas Alamnehe.

About the No Fluff Just Stuff
Lone Star Software Symposium: Austin

July 16 - 17, 2010 - Austin, TX This conference will focus on the latest technologies and best practices emerging in the enterprise software development space. Our speakers are authors, consultants, open source developers, and recognized industry experts. NFJS brings a high quality conference to your city, making the event accessible not only to senior engineers, but to the whole team.

» Cutting-Edge Technologies – Develop better and faster. Technology evolves and changes at a rapid rate. NFJS helps you stay current and assist you in making the right technology choices down the road.

» Excellent Team Building Experience – because of its local roots, an NFJS event allows teams of developers/architects/managers from a company to attend together. Getting out of the "office environment" together as a group to learn/discuss concepts is a powerful combination. Want to solve a problem? Get a fresh opinion at an NFJS event. Interaction and exchange of ideas is one of the great attributes of NFJS.

» Lots of Choices – unlike other technical conferences, NFJS offers a tremendous bandwidth of session choice. With a minimum of four concurrent tracks offered at each NFJS show you are sure to find a compelling session to attend!
