The London Java Community (LJC) is a group of Java Enthusiasts who are interested in benefiting from shared knowledge in the industry. Through our forum and regular meetings you can meet other developers, discuss technical/non technical issues and network further throughout the Java Community.
We arrange and promote regular events throughout the group including free seminars from Java Champions in London to discuss the latest market trends, usually followed by a drink at the local pub.
Our members have also benefited from offers and reduced rates at conferences.
Membership is completely free - we currently have over 400 members and are eager to grow please spread the word further about this group to anyone that you think may be interested.
Do not hesitate to get in touch with any questions or feedback.
Barry Cranford
Organiser of London Java Community
