Hi everyone.

This month's meeting of the Greater Boston ACM WebTech Chapter will be
held on Tuesday, May 17, 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.

This month's meeting will feature a presentation and demo by Al
Mannarino, Borland Senior Systems Engineer, on JBuilder 2005.  This is
the first look we've had at Java development tools in quite a while, so
this is a great chance to step back and take a fresh look at the state
of the technology for building Java applications of all sorts.  Details
below.

By the way, I received only positive feedback from the group's members
about the job postings that were sent out in March and April, so if you
have openings that are appropriate for this group, let me know and I'll
try to get them sent out promptly.

All the best,
Dan Jacobs, Chairman
