A Quick (Virtual) Trip to Portland (Oregon, US) to See What the PJUG Is Up To

Last night, at the Portland Java User Group#039;s first meeting of the new year, Merlyn Albery-Speyer was scheduled to speak about Gradle, the project automation tool.

This approach is one that more people seem to be finding ideal for getting developers involved with, or introducing, unfamiliar technologies. For example, Java Champion Adam Bien has been giving what he calls free Java EE hacking sessions at various JUG meetings and conferences in Europe.
