I had the great pleasue of speaking at Triangle Java User Group yesterday. It was the first time I did this presentation titled Jakarta EE meets AI. It is a very demo heavy presentation, so lots of things can go wrong, but the demo gods were with me this time. Every demo worked just as intended!
The event was located at the Wake Technical Community College between Raleigh and Durham. I discovered on in the Uber on the way to the event that there are multiple locations called Wake Technical College in the area and I was headed to the wrong one. Luckily, I was able to redirect the ride and arrive in time to start the presentation as scheduled.
The folks at the Triangle java User Group is a friendly bunch, and I strongly recommend that you attend their events if you are located in the area. They are also, as almost every Java User Group in the World, looking for volunteers to help with the events. This is an excellent opportunity to expand your network and create a solid foundation for your future career!
