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. |
