Charlotte JUG - Apr Meeting - Hibernate & ORM

Hosted By: Philip Dodds

NOTE: We have pushed this month's meeting back a week (from the usual 3rd Wed) to April 22nd in order to accommodate folks needing to get their taxes out on the 15th.

The JUG meeting offers a great place to network with other developers, recruiters and businesses as well as to learn new technologies. The location is the same as usual, and as always we have refreshments available - thanks to our sponsor ettaingroup!
