Our October Meeting is tomorrow night and it looks to be a great topic. As companies like Google have made searching a common user expectation, it comes down to us as developers to best leverage the available search technologies. Our speaker Grant Ingersoll is an expert in this arena and will give us a taste of the topics available in his upcoming book titled Taming Text from Manning. We will have six e-copies of his book to giveaway, so get one before you can even buy the print version.
As usual, thanks to our sponsor JetBrains we’ll have a free copy of their award winning Java IDE, IntelliJ IDEA. This month you will also have the option to choose a different JetBrains product (TeamCity or Ruby IDE).
I’d also like to welcome a new sponsor for the group. CompanionCabinet is a local Java employer that is hoping to become more involved with the Charlotte development community.
On a final note, we will begin holding a monthly raffle. For $1 you will have the opportunity to win prizes like an 8GB flash drive, noise canceling headphones and a 1GB Mp3 player. Your entry carries forward for each month that you attend however participants must be present to win.
