Kansas City Java User Group
Get involved

Whether you are a dedicated professional or a coding hobbyist, novice developer or seasoned engineer, programming student or lifelong learner, the Kansas City JUG is dedicated to bringing content to the community about all things on the JVM.
If you’re curious about Kotlin, juiced about Jakarta EE, stoked about Spring, or anything in between, our meetups span a variety of topics related to Java™ and other JVM-based technologies.
We feature speakers from the local community as well as internationally renowned speakers, authors, and industry leaders.
In addition to the informative topics, Kansas City JUG meetups give our members the opportunity to network with other developers and our great sponsors! Our other platforms facilitate interaction among our members. Feel free to dive in and share a topic, ask a question, find employment opportunities, or just socialize!
Kansas City JUG hosts meetups on a monthly basis. Our typical meetups are on the 3rd Wendesday of the month. Occasionally, we host meetups on different days to accomodate speaker travel dates or avoid collision with other events (such as US holidays). To view and RSVP for upcoming events, please see our Meetup page.
Many of us have significant experience in Java. Yet, from time to time, we get tripped up by some code that we quite did not expect to behave the way it does. In this presentation we will take a look at some of those and get a deeper understanding of the language we use everyday. In this highly interactive session, be ready to answer some questions, discuss some code behavior, and gain some in depth knowledge of the nuances in Java.
