[SGVLUG] The people have spoken...

At last nights meeting, I passed around a sheet to vote for what level of presentation our January presenter should target.  The results (if not stuffed) were overwhelmingly for "beginner", which will focus on Java itself and the Eclipse IDE (though I might be able to get him to slant it more to the IDE and tools than "here's yet another hello world..." example)

BUT -- now's your chance to overturn that decision!  If you weren't at the meeting (or were but didn't vote), and plan on attending next month, you can still post a vote to this list (or directly to me, if you prefer)

To recap, the January presenter (Charles Finley -- some of you may remember him from a past presentation) will be talking about Java and IBM's Eclipse IDE.  He wants to know what level of discussion to target -- the choices are:

   Beginner: focusing on the Java language itself and the Eclipse IDE (and related tools, I imagine)

   Intermediate: focusing on the "flashier" aspects of modern Java development, i.e., "J2EE"

   Advanced: more or less a "case study" of the modernization of a "glass teletype" application to an essentially web-based version.

Of course, if there are a significant number of votes AND they are tied (or nearly so), we can certainly ask Mr. Finley to come back for a second round.
