Hello, I'm a newbie that would like to get involved with JUG in order to improve my skills (I'm a 2nd year CS student). I also have a project that I need some advice on. Would I be able to take 5 minutes or less of your time and show you what I'm working on? I'd like to see if anyone can point me in the right direction.
Thank you, Dan Mayhew University of Arizona CatCard Office [EMAIL PROTECTED] 520.331.2250 -----Original Message----- From: William H.

The idea is pretty simple -- show up, possibly with your laptop, and in the span of two hours (or is it 90 minutes?), we quickly settle on something of sufficient mutual interest and try to make some progress with it. Maybe it's a tool you've been meaning to try out, maybe it's an open source library that's getting some buzz, maybe it's an interesting little programming problem. I'd say to timebox the topic selection to fifteen minutes, and be a good sport if the topic settled on isn't your favorite. Obviously, it'd be important to come with an open mind and a "Why not?" attitude. I'd also say to not limit the scope to Java. For example, if an interesting programming problem were to turn up, it could be attacked in whatever language one chose. Also, there are lots of tools that are useful across many platforms and/or languages.
