Are you like me and think that there is way to little knowledge sharing going on in the danish Java-community?

Well me and my colleagues decided to try and do something about it and founded Øredev Knowledge Network. A non-profit organization for all of us who are serious about acquiring and sharing the latest knowledge within Java and systems development in general.

This fall we have already held appreciated seminars on Grails, Groovy, Griffon and Agile and the following events are just as exciting.

Best of all: All our seminars are for free!

Our next seminar, about Maven, is held in Frederiksberg Copenhagen on December 10th.

For more information about our other seminars like Qi4j with Rickard Öberg in January join our group on LinkedIn http://www.linkedin.com/groups?about=&gid=109700&trk=anet_ug_grppro

 To wrap up: Next week we are arranging the largest developers conference in Scandinavia in Malmö. 14 different tracks, some focused just on Java and a BoF on Grails. If you forgot to register or just found out about Øredev and like to come contact me directly on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
