LJC - London Java Community

The London Developer Sessions

July 17, 2012 · 6:30 PM
The Knights Templar

This is our monthly social gathering, which incorporates members of The London Java Community and Graduate Developer Communities. This is an informal social evening most of the evening will be spent having ad-hoc informal discussions in small groups.

We are using the same vebue as last month again this month, The Knights Templar, 95 Chancery Lane, Off Carey Street, Holborn, London WC2A 1DT - http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pubs/the-knights-templar-chancery-lane. The Knights Templar is part of the Weatherspoon's chain and we have negotiated the use of their function room with its own private bar for the evening. The pub is well know for its relaxed environment and for its real ales.

The event will kick off at 6:30 PM and usually goes on until around 11:30 with members coming and going at all times throughout the evening. We usually attract 50 – 70 members so it is a lively event in which members, both junior and senior, can connect in a relaxed atmosphere and set the development world to rights.

Barry or another RecWorks team member will be onsite so if anyone is looking for free recruitment advice it's a great chance to come along for a chat.

Developer sessions sponsored by Atlassian, creators of JIRA, Confluence & Greenhopper. Tools for developers, by developers.

Good as usual. The more you go to the better it gets.
There was a small turnout this time round but it still was great.
