On Monday, we were lucky to have the NY Java Meetup host their monthly meeting here at Bug Labs HQ. In addition to eating lots of pizza and drinking lots of beer (and playing lots of COD2 afterward), we managed to actually talk a thing or two about Java. Our friend Timothy Fagan gave a great detailed review of JavaOne 2009 (check out some of the slides here), and we tried a few Java Puzzlers from one of the sessions presented at the show. We even gave away a few cool door prizes, like a copy of IntelliJ.

The BUG team got plenty of inquiries from the attendees, and it seems like more and more software folks want to be hardware folks these days. That got us thinking of starting our very own meetup very soon, kinda like a BUG User Group (B.U.G. anyone?). Anyway, it was a great time and we hope to have the Java Meetup back again very soon.
