Hello Everyone,

The June meeting of the Cleveland JUG will be help this Wednesday (June
14th).  Meeting starts with pizza and beverages at 5:45pm.  Take a look

This month's presenter is Jon Kern from Compuware.

Abstract:

The author of "The Agile Manifesto," Jon Kern, will describe a pragmatic
usage of Agile Development and Java MDA that has high value when
combined with visual tool support.  He will discuss where UML and MDA
overlap, and will dismiss the "Silver Bullet" theory that often
accompanies design and development tools.  He'll discuss how to take all
of this and combine it into a successful project.
