The Sacramento Java User Group meets
every month to discuss and discover new technologies that involve
Java and other electronic information systems. The group has been
meeting every month since the Java was released to the public back
in 1996. We are a volunteer group and the meetings are free to the
public. The hard work of its members and support of its sponsors
are the back bone of the group's success and longevity. We
recognize and appreciate those who have shared with the group
informative presentations and insightful discussion. It is those
members and guests who help make our meetings more enjoyable,
exciting and informative. Java is the language we speak and Java is the
language we love!
For those who are new or want to know details about the new
meeting location, SacJUG meetings are held at 6:00 p.m., on the
2nd Tuesday of the month at the ExitCertified office building.
ExitCertified is located at:
8950 Cal Center Drive
Suite 110, Bldg. 1
Sacramento, CA 95826
Members are encouraged to subscribe to
the SacJUG mailing lists. Outside of
our monthly meetings, our discussion list is the best place to
find out what's going on, to ask a question, or to meet new
members!

Android Programming - Case In Point
Android everywhere
Android is reshaping the way people communicate.
It’s in your phone or tablet, on your wrist, in your car,
on your TV, in your camera, at your home, and at the store.
It’s a new and almost unlimited landscape for app developers —
welcome to the exciting world of Android everywhere!
Android gives you an open platform for developing any app you can imagine,
and an open marketplace for distributing and monetizing your products to a large and growing user base.
Whether you are starting a business or just have a great idea,
Android has the platform, tools, and devices to make it happen.
Grails is an advanced and innovative open source web application platform that
delivers new levels of developer productivity by applying principles like
Convention over Configuration.
Grails helps development teams embrace agile methodologies,
deliver quality applications in reduced amounts of time,
and focus on what really matters: creating high quality,
easy to use applications that delight users.
Grails naturally complements Java application development since it is
built on Spring and based on Groovy, the leading dynamic language for the Java platform.
We will raffle off an O'Reilly book!
