Welcome to the Not So JUG

Posted by The Not So JUG Team on December 5, 2016

Finally here!

Hello! We are a bunch of passionate Java developers who like good code design and sane use of libraries.

This project is an experiment started as a self-teaching initiative between colleagues.

Over time we piled up some interesting study material into a github repository; the initiative went by so we thought about giving it a name rather than parking some code in a personal repository.

We believe this can be categorized under the JUG definition, as per wikipedia:

A Java User Group (JUG) is a community of users of the Java programming language.

Typically, members of a JUG support each other through:

  1. regular meetings (e.g. monthly)
  2. mailing lists
  3. a collaborative website or wiki
  4. study groups for Java certification exams

Since we don’t meet 1, 2, and 4, but we would be a community of users that study the Java programming language (and its neighborhood), we have called it “Not So JUG”.

So… Everyone is welcome to contribute and join the project!
