JavaMN October Meetup

Hello JavaMN!

It's that time of year, we have an awesome couple of topics for our Fall get together. I want to thank Aayush and Andrew in advance for putting together these presentations, I think they present extremely valuable and relevant information for the local Minneapolis development community. As always, food and drinks (beet, wine, and soft drinks) will be provided so come hungry and come thirsty! And I swear this time, we will have a mobile microphone, I thought my arm was going to fall off holding the mic back in June... Take a look at the presentation topics below and feel free to invite your colleagues, bosses, peers, brothers, daughters, and anyone you want to introduce to the JavaMN group. People of all skill levels are welcome. Looking forward to the event and please message me on here or email me at dwaterstreet@teksystems.com if you have any questions! See you all October 23rd!
