With Java on our side the sky is the limit. I believe a first step is getting in touch with one another to work out some great project we could all contribute to. I am currently learning Java on my own in order to become a java developer. I find it very interesting, and would like to interact with people of experience to get advice. A user group can only work if we start a discussion on core java issues else this forum may go moribund soon.
Web development is an interesting and fast growing area of the computer technology.
What I'm saying is that sharing knowledge is great. I'm resident in the University town of Ile-Ife and Java users population is growing. I have been on with other languages, but for my interest in e-business and the likes java is the key. Hence, i am made for java now. I have materials on java one and would welcome assistance in form of materials and resources generally.
