Ann Arbor-based Stout Systems announced this week the creation of a new Software Development Study Group.
Stout Systems business development manager and senior technical staff member Bill Heitzeg and his peers saw a need within the IT community for an organized and practical way to introduce computer programmers to new technologies and new problem solving techniques.
The study group gives developers an interactive, one hour introduction into a new technology, Heitzeg said.
The group meets from 5:30 to 6:30 every Tuesday evening in Ann Arbor. Each meeting is led by a volunteer expert from the IT community, who actively facilitates the learning of technologies and methodologies that often take programmers a substantial time investment to learn on their own. Whether it's the latest dynamic language or an old standby technology, the goal of the Software Development Study Group is to ensure that one week's concentrated hour is worth many more hours or even days of having to absorb new technologies by oneself.
Group attendance is on the increase as the word spreads, Stout Systems president John W. Stout said.
