Gateway JUG Information

After 14 years, I have decided to end the Gateway Java User Group. Our December 2012 meeting was our last. Our motto has always been, "Growing Java developers one class at a time." And we did help so many Java developers to grow! It's impossible for me to fully convey my appreciation to Laura Boeckstiegel ("Laura B"), the Gateway JUG Vice President and logistics coordinator for the past 10 years (at least). I never could have run this thing without her help. She's truly a wonderful person who I will always consider a friend. I'd also like to thank all of those who presented at our meetings and those who contributed in meeting planning and execution. Past officers, Elisabeth, and others helped the group immensely. So many thanks are due to those companies who sponsored our meetings. Without you, we would not have been able to do what we did. Finally, I'd also like to thank those of you who spent a little of your hard earned money to attend the many fun and informative classes we shared together. In all the Core Java, Servlet/JSP, Struts, JSF, Spring, Android , Groovy and Grails classes, I can honestly say I learned as much about people as I did the technologies - and that was half the fun! Thank you.
