Java User's Group

Being new to the Albany area (and a quasi urban surrounding in general), I recently had the opportunity to attend my very first Java User's Group (http://www.cdjdn.com). There were two presentations, the first was from the creator of Sleep an open source scripting language loosely based on Perl with an Objective C-like syntax and the second was from the author of Netbeans 5.5 Enterprise Edition. I was lucky enough to win a free copy of the netbeans book which rounded out my experience with the folks from CDJDN. If you are in the Albany area or know of a local JUG in your hometown, I highly recommend attending a meeting or two.
