Kaffee with Mike

By -
Welcome to Mike's Java Cafe!

Come on in, relax, and have a cup of Java so that we can discuss Java, the programming language.

I've been facilitating the ACGNJ Java Users Group in Scotch Plains, New Jersey since February 2001. We meet on the second Tuesday of the month at the Scotch Plains Rescue Squad. Meetings are open to the public, so if you happen to live in the greater New York area, and have a chance to visit, please stop by to say, "hello."

I look forward to discussing Java with you, and hope to meet you at a future Java Users Group meeting.

Enjoy!

Garden State Java User Group - 2022 Year in Review

By -
As our second full year operating as the newly-branded Garden State Java User Group came to a close, it's time to reflect on what we have accomplished in 2022. Along with providing awesome speakers and Java-related topics, our continued participation in the Java community included: Having renewed our membership in the MicroProfile Working Group as a contributing member. Having adopted the new Jakarta Data specification to complement our adoption of Jakarta NoSQL specification.  I am also happy to announce that I was elected as a committer for both of these specifications. Having joined the Jakarta EE Working Group as a guest member. Our participation in the Java in Education initiative. We will continue our participation in these initiatives in 2023. We were also fortunate to have been sponsored by these wonderful organizations: Platinum Sponsorship: JFrog Our Partner: Devnexus Silver Sponsorship: Azul Per Meeting Sponsors: JetBrains  and  Jakarta EE for JUGs November 2022 Spo

May 14 - Dierk König presented "Purely Functional Programming on the JVM with Frege." October 5 - Josh Long presented "Bootiful Testing." November 4 - Heather VanCura presented "Java Community Participation and Collaboration in 2020." December 8 - Pratik Patel presented "Data Science on the JVM with Kotlin and Zeppelin." The rest of the year featured presentations by myself on Quarkus, M

As our first full year operating as the newly-branded  Garden State Java User Group comes to a close, it's time to reflect on what we have accomplished this past year. When I introduced our group  at this time last year, I listed the directors that created our 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.  We are: Mike Redlich (that's me!) Barry Burd Chandra Guntur Paul Syers Since then, we added "leader" and "advisor" roles to our leadership team. We have three awesome leaders that assist us with behind-the-scenes operations, social media advertising and attending our weekly leadership meetings.  Please welcome: Neha Sardana Scott Selikoff Caitlin Mahoney Our advisors meet with us once per quarter to provide guidance and ensure we are on the right path in the way we operate the Java User Group.  Please welcome: Diane Liporace Ari Waller Paul Furbacher Pratik Patel Vincent Mayers We were also fortunate to have been  sponsored by these wonderful organizations: Platin
