Agenda

6:00-6:30 - Mingle, Eat/Drink, and Welcome/Housekeeping

6:45 - Presentation

Blurb

Moving from one major version of Java to another can be stressful, because you want to use the new features of the language but your brain is still wired for the old version. Laura will talk about new features of Java 8 to incorporate into your coding life as well as techniques to help yourself move into a Java 8 mindset.

Parking Suggestions

A block or so north on that same side of the road is a lot that allows cheaper parking after 6pm (I think either $2 or $4 for the evening). Before 6pm it is employee parking.

There is also street parking in the Highland neighborhood across the bridge or at the nearby park. There are plenty of 2 hour street parking, but there should also be spots for longer than that if you can find them.
