The second London GlassFish User Group event, organised by C2B2 together with JaxLondon 2013 was a part of the conference Community Night – ‘a beer, wine and code fuelled ‘taster’ of the main conference, organised in conjunction with UK user groups and sponsors’. GlassFish and JEE enthusiasts got together on Tuesday evening, at the end of a second day of the conference, to listen to Arun Gupta- one of the most influential people in the Java EE and GlassFish world, previously Oracle’s GlassFish and JEE Evangelist, now working for Red Hat as a Director of Developer Advocacy.
During the event, our London GlassFish community members had a chance to see Arun’s ‘Code-driven Introduction to Java EE7’ presentation, ask him questions and have a chat with the expert himself and other community members during the networking break with some beers and pizza.
For those of you who missed the event we've published the video recording of Arun’s talk (join London GUG on Metetup so you won’t miss any future ones!) :
