What we’re about
The Garden State Java User Group, Inc. (formerly the ACGNJ Java Users Group), in continuous operation since February 2001, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides a forum to promote the use of Java platforms, APIs, and language. We strive to facilitate interactive discussions and exchange of ideas relating to the application of Java.
Topics will primarily focus on JVM technologies such as Java EE, Jakarta EE, MicroProfile, Spring, Groovy and Kotlin. Topics on non-JVM technologies such as Meteor, AngularJS, and Rust may occasionally be presented.
We are proud members of the MicroProfile Working Group and the Jakarta EE Ambassadors and have adopted the Jakarta NoSQL specification.
All meetings are generally held on the second Tuesday of the month, but may change due to speaker availability. In-person meetings are usually held at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey. On-line meetings are held via our YouTube channel.

We are happy to announce that Rajiv Shah will be our special guest for this month's meeting!
Abstract:
In this session, learn about the multi-dimensional data problems faced by enterprises today and how to tackle them by building high-performance cloud-native applications written in Java, C++, C#, Python or Scala that combine real-time processing of event streams, data in motion and at rest with powerful distributed computing capabilities.
Bio:
Rajiv Shah is a seasoned enterprise architect with over 25 years of experience in architecting, designing, and developing high-performance applications for banking (trading platforms, risk analysis, algorithmic options/hedging strategies, etc.), airline, and e-commerce industries.
He is still very hands-on and actively codes in Java, Scala, Python, and Spark, and works with machine learning, databases, big data, streaming (Kafka, RabbitMQ, others), containerization, and cloud technologies.
He has 25+ IT certifications (including 7 Java certificates from the Oracle Corporation) and was also invited to prepare the test materials for the Oracle Certified Enterprise Architect examination.
As usual, pizza and soft drinks will be served! We hope to see you on November 12!
