Welcome to the Jozi Java User Group

In case you are wondering what we are all about this video of Geertjan from Oracle's NetBeans Team addressing the meetup will give you some idea. The audio on the recording is terrible but thats because we are complete amateurs when it comes to creating video, oh yes, and we were much more concerned about our beers and having a great time geeking out.

The Jozi Java User Group is a Java User Group which plans to meet monthly in and around the Randburg area. The Jozi Java User Group is for those who are interested in physically meeting to discuss Java and related technologies.

Anyone is welcome, no matter where you live, age and skill level!

Our goal is to: 

  • help grow the Java community,
  • learn from the vast array of knowledge and experience that there is in our community,
  • help build skills that our country so badly needs,
  • make friends with other Java developers and
  • have fun

If you think talking about Java and tech after hours is like working then this group is not for you. If you think programming in the coding zone is the highest spiritual state any human bean can obtain then you will feel right at home.
