Episode 30: JUG aka The Java User Group

In our latest episode, we sit down with Steve Poole (Leader of London JUG | Director, Developer Relations, Sonatype), Frank Greco (Founder of NYJavaSIG | Director, Technology and Strategy, Crossroads Technologies), and Sharat Chander (Sr. Director, Java and Cloud Native Product Management and Developer Relations, Oracle). Java user groups (JUGs) have seen changes over the years due to the growing prominence of Java and a continuously maturing audience. We’ll be revisiting the late 90s/early 2000s when JUGs first started appearing. Listen in for answers to questions like: What was their purpose? What are they now? Why are JUGs a valuable community resource? How has the pandemic changed them? Check out the resources for this episode on the blog.
