Thanks to everyone who attended tonight's Java meetup on creating an open source project.  I hope everyone learned something new, and will be creating and contributing to open source projects soon!

Here is the presentation:  https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1sTDRgbG09XoAbszGwzFeU2_t4b3kVq7AsT5dRagCijg/edit?usp=sharing­

Here is a decent answer to "Can I change the license once I've picked one?":  https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/55326/can-you-change-a-license-once-you-pick-one­

I actually found the second answer (by user cnst), to be the most helpful.  As usual, the bottom line is "it depends".

Thanks to everyone who came to Spring - The Basics last night!  It was a great crowd.  I hope everyone learned something useful.  I know I picked up a few new things from Jonathan as well.

If you have any questions feel free to message me, or join the #java channel on the Milwaukee Slack Channel.

See you next month at Share Your Source!

Keep Hacking!

Thanks to all those who attended last night's meetup!  It was a great group with lots of new faces.

Here is the link to the presentation. There are lots of great links to OAuth2 docs, Spring Security docs, and JWT docs.

As always, feel free to email or message me with any questions, or future meetup topics.  If you'd like to present, or do a Lightning Talk (15 minute presentation) message me as well as I'm starting to plan events for this summer.

Keep Hacking!

Thanks to everyone who attended the Lightning Talks @ MATC last night. This was our biggest event yet, with 57 RSVPs!

I'd like to thank all the MATC students that took the time to come, and ask awesome questions. A big thanks for Richard Hsu, and Jonathan Kupcho for putting together stellar presentations as well.

Here are the presentation materials:

Speaker: Jonathan Kupcho

Topic: Frontend vs Backend

We've all heard the terms "frontend" and "backend" developer. What do we mean by these labels? If you asked 5 people to define these labels, you'd get 5 different answers. This talk will help you understand the nuances of frontend and backend development of modern applications.

Presentation Slides

Speaker: Andy Glassman

Topic: Approaches to Testing

Unit, Integration, End to End, Smoke, Failover, Load... The list of test types and approaches goes on and on. I'll attempt to hit on the major test types, test approaches, and their reasons for existing. I'll also go over some common roles within a development team.

Presentation Slides

Speaker: Richard Hsu

Topic: Scala

Scala is the most popular JVM functional language. In this talk I will try to go through everything I know about Scala; including brief language features, development environment, ecosystem, and how to keep up!

Thanks, and keep an eye out for the next meetup announcement. I'm looking into doing a presentation on Cassandra, or Couchbase.
