Kansas City Java User Group
Get involved
We encourage the Kansas City JUG community to get involved! There are several outlets which community members can use to interact with the rest of the community. Check us out below!
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.
**Abstract:** Struggling to keep up with technology, or feeling overwhelmed with so many things to learn? Do you feel you are a competent developer, but you don't see the results in your career? Maybe you feel like you don't belong or that you are not good enough?
Those are common symptoms, you are not alone! This talk will show you what’s behind those feelings, why you can’t keep up, and how to solve that. Come learn what the last 10 years of brain science has shown about our career and what the best developers do differently. Discover the exact skills you need to have to grow, and how to apply them in your project today. Become a better Java developer, create unlimited growth and forge your own path to success.
