Summary Minutes for 2004-06-17
Jeremy talked about Java 1.5 and he is a very good speaker and it was obvious that he knew what he was talking about. I came away from that understanding the changes that are happening, and actually understanding more of how java does what it does.
Carlus had a nice little project for us and we did finish in time. The only thing I would improve on Carlus's bit is that we needed more laptops there (There was only 2) and more time. We had some people that I could tell didn't know what was happening and it would have been nice to be able to explain what was happening and answer all the question in more detail. I had a few questions as well about what and why that I kinda understood, but needed a more in depth explanation. I didn't ask because it seemed like everyone else understood and time was of the essence.
Maybe next time we could have more laptops and have a range of exercises from easy to hard so the advanced folk could dive in and the novices could just get thier feet wet
