About us
Tampa Java User Group (TJUG) is for anyone who uses JVM, wants to learn, hire or network with other professionals.
The Tampa Java Users Group (TJUG) is organized by Java Developers for Java Developers in order to:
Provide a forum for exchanging information and for brainstorming with other developers on how to successfully implement new Java solutions.
Deliver monthly technical presentations on the latest Java/JVM technologies.
Support the needs of both newbies and experts through related Study Groups targeted at Java Certification and Java-OO architectural issues.
Promote the advantages of Java as a development and deployment environment to the business and educational communities.
While our focus is around Java and the JVM, we also cover a wide variety of other related topics such as Agile development methodologies, mobile and client-side software development frameworks and tools.

AI is evolving fast, and so are the ways developers can integrate it into tech systems. A flurry of new approaches and tools surfaces every week, and it’s hard to know where to focus.In this session, we will pull back the curtain on the next wave of AI development with agents, tool integrations, and Model Context Protocol (MCP). We will break down what AI agents are, how they interact with tools and APIs, and why context is critical for building smarter, more reliable applications. Next, we will look at MCP and how it standardizes communication between AI models and external systems.
Along the way, we will touch on related concepts and step through code and demos, giving you a complete roadmap to level up your AI skills. You won’t need a yellow brick road to follow along, but you will discover some magical new tricks to level up your AI skills!
