On October 28th, I traveled all the way south to beautiful Charleston, SC to give a slightly belated EJB 3 primer! JUG leader Jason McDonald is trying hard to grow the fledgling Charleston JUG. The turnout was less than what we were expecting, but it was a pleasure to speak to the small group nonetheless.
Since this was my first time in the “deep south” I didn’t quite know what to expect. As it turns out, the folks in Charleston are true to the image of southern hospitality. And Charleston really is “the last bastion of southern charm and elegance”. I definitely look forward to speaking in Charleston again and wish the JUG the best of luck.
