Francisco has been a Java developer for over 15 years and he runs his own consulting business with customers around the world. He's passionate about Java the technology and also Java the community. &quot;When I learned Java at university I felt like I could do anything with that,&quot; he said, talking about how Java enables him to engage developers, write really great software, and also grow a business. But Java goes well beyond just technology. When Francisco had some personal challenges in his life, he was happy that many community members immediately offered to help him. &quot;The sense of community in the Java environment is just awesome!&quot;&amp;nbsp; Francisco Contreras https://x.com/Frank_JCG https://www.linkedin.com/in/fjcontrerasg https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5OlzVJbnuQc https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rhAe6zqxC34 JUG Nicaragua https://x.com/jugnicaragua &amp;nbsp; Java User Groups https://dev.java/community/jugs/&amp;nbsp; Duke's Corner https://dukescorner.libsyn.com Jim Grisanzio https://x.com/jimgris https://jimgrisanzio.wordpress.com Duke's Corner http://dukescorner.libsyn.com/site <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/37203325/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/190147870
