What we’re about
The Chicago Java User’s Group is here to help the Java Professional. We want to make Chicago the ‘best’ place to be a Java developer, by offering a support network that allows each individual Java developer to grow! Its only purpose is to serve its community by focusing on three areas: - Learning about the Java Craft - Making a Difference in the Java Community - Growing as a Java Professional
