See you there! I will highlight my experience in April. Java training will run from Jan through June. (Feb-Mar theme: "Java fundamentals" / Apr-June Theme: "Java Features"). Let people know! A sequential track exists throughout the sessions so block out the next 6 second Tuesday evenings. We will be using the tutorial at http://java.sun.com/tutorial as a basis for learning Java. Make sure you have downloaded a copy and gone through at least "Creating a User Interface". You do not have to understand it all. Coming to a finer understanding is part of what the meetings are about. A new section starts below. I will ask companies for a $100 donation to NESOFTDEV if you like the section. Let me know. The web site is half restored. I am waiting for the new line to clear and then I will finish it up as we lost Tim. I think he grew up on us. Thanks for waiting. Welcome to our new corporate sponsor Addison-Wesley. They are providing 5 copies of the new Java tutorial book as door prizes. The book is supposed to come out this month. ************************************************************************ ****** MEETING: 6:30-7:00 P.M.
