NLJUG – Nederlandse Java User Group NLJUG – de Nederlandse Java User Group – is opgericht in 2003. De NLJUG verenigt software ontwikkelaars, architecten, ICT managers, studenten, new media developers en haar businesspartners met algemene interesse in alle aspecten van Java Technology.
The Foojay Java User Group World Tour has already brought us to a lot of different countries virtually all over the world.
But for this episode, the host decided to stay at home in Belgium.
The Belgium JUG (BeJUG) started in 1997 and was the birthplace of Devoxx, Devoxx4Kids, and VoxxedDays.
And in our capital Brussels, we’ve been able to join Brussels JUG (BruJUG), since 2010.
So there’s a lot we can talk about to learn more about communities and conferences in Belgium!
