Hi everyone,

This month's WebTech meeting will be on Tuesday, April 19th, from 7 to 9
pm, at the IBM Innovation Center for Business Partners (formerly known
as the SPC) in Waltham. Details and directions will be on the group
website at http://www.acm.org/chapters/webtech.

The discussion this month will be on Swing Tips and Tricks -
particularly regarding strategies for effective event handling and
layout.  I will bring along the relevant part of a larger presentation,
and together we can share our combined practical experience, and learn
how to be more effective in developing Swing applications and other
similar kinds of applications.

I hope to see you there!
-- Dan Jacobs
