Java User Groups (JUGs)

Java User Groups (JUGs) are volunteer organizations that strive to distribute Java-related knowledge around the world. They provide a meeting place for Java users to get information, share resources and solutions, increase networking, expand Java Technology expertise, and above all, drink beer, eat pizza and have fun. The JUG Community is the meeting point for JUGs, helping promote the expansion of the worldwide Java Community. JUG leaders & members, from experts to Java newbies can share information about creating, joining and running a JUG. So, whether you're already part of a JUG, looking to join one, or if you're interested in creating your own local group, you've come to the right place! Welcome to the Java User Groups Community! Take a look at the JUGs Community Objectives, to learn how your JUG can benefit from participation in this community!
