Java SIG - www.javasig.com

New York Java Special Interest Group (NYJavaSIG) is based in Manhattan and headquartered in the city's famed financial district. Through its regular meetings and its website, the SIG brings together members of New York's Java community so they can share their tips, techniques, knowledge, and experience.

The NYJavaSIG was founded in 1995 and has over 1400 members. As many as 400 members attend the SIG's regular meetings to hear the latest about Java from innovative developers and industry leaders.

The SIG meets approximately once a month, usually (but not always) at Sun Microsystem's downtown NYC office. We welcome developers, managers, webmasters, new media artists, and anyone else with an interest in Java.
