So this is it, another JHUG event (Sponsored by Sun Hellas this time) has come to an end. I am actually very happy, and I would like to share my thoughts on this one, despite the fact that this event was not packed - like the previous.

So this is it, the first day of Javapolis has just come to an end for me! It was a very good start, and I have to say that I had a quite nice pick of sessions- so I was very satisfied with the content.
