What we’re about
The London Java Community (LJC) is a group of Java Enthusiasts who are interested in benefiting from shared knowledge in the industry. Through our forum and regular meetings you can keep in touch with the latest industry developments, learn new Java (& other JVM) technologies, meet other developers, discuss technical/non technical issues and network further throughout the Java Community.

What goes on in the LJC?
We run a variety of regular events ranging from social events and technical presentations to our full day unconference. On top of the events we run prize draws and have an active mailing list/forum. We support the Graduate Development Community in London and promote London based Open Source Software projects where possible.

Membership is restricted to Java developers working in or around London (or those hoping to train in Java, or relocate to London). Membership will not be granted to those involved in the recruitment industry.

Join us on the first LJC roundtable evening.
We will be discussing technology, not just Java.
We are a bunch of friendly folks who would like to meet in an informal environment and discuss and broadly understand technology.
Do you work on some open-source projects or want to contribute to one?
Do you want to learn the next hot framework or programming?
Do you want to share a piece of code you are proud of or you struggle with?
If so we look forward to welcoming you to our new monthly LJC Roundtable event.
The LJC would like to thank Sonatype for hosting this event.
This event is organised by RecWorks on behalf of the London Java Community.
The London Java Community is sponsored by JFrog, Payara, Octopus Deploy and Hazelcast
