I’m blessed with the opportunity to present the current version of my “Secrets of the Rockstar Programmers” talk at a special edition of the Orlando Java User’s Group. JUG leader Mike Levin is even more blessed with the opportunity to visit JCrete, and so chose to re-schedule the July meeting rather than canceling it.

As usual, there is free pizza!
