Java Double Feature Complete

The Java Double Feature, which occurred March 15th and 22nd, was a reasonable success. Anita Sivakumar and Alex Ronke split up the responsibility for two Java-related presentations in a row.

On March 15th, Alex Ronke presented on NetBeans and BlueJ. Incorporated with slide-presentations were practical demonstrations of the NetBeans Matisse GUI designer & collaborative development, and the BlueJ Workbench. About 12-14 students showed. Every student left with some Sun merchandise, whether it was a copy of StarOffice 8, a Sun shirt, or a voucher for a Sun certification exam.

Anita presented on the 22nd on Java Studio Creator and Project Darkstar. 16 students showed. Again, everybody left with Sun stuff.

At both events, TEK Systems, a local IT recruiting firm, provided dinner for the students and spoke about their company and the IT industry in general. They were enthusiastic about working with Sun and our student events.
