Speaking at the Colgne JUG Monday, April 20th

Posted by: Neal Ford on 04/11/2009

I'll be speaking at the Cologne Java Users Group on the eve of the JAX Conference, on Monday, April 20th at 7 PM. I'm letting the JUG organizer pick the topic, so I'm not sure what I'll be talking about, but I'm looking forward to it: I've never spoken at a German JUG before. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by and we'll geek out, then have a real beer afterwards.

Update: Here is a link to the slides I presented at the JUG. Thanks for having me; I had a great time.
