Thanks very much to all those who turned up for our presentation at the Java User Group Scotland - it was fun to chat about what we've been working on.

For those who missed it the video has now been uploaded and can be found on Vimeo.

Please let us know what you think and drop a line if you would like us to come and present at your group meeting!

Make use of our open source libraries

andrew@headsupdevelopment.com (Andrew Williams) — Tue, 01 May 2012 21:17:47 +0100

Heads Up Development has recently started publishing it's code under our new open source initiative. You can check out our current status at GitHub and download / contribute to or just be inspired by our code.

We have currently opened the source to some java utilies which we find very useful, an IRC management library for interacting with members of chat rooms and, most significantly, our licensing code. That's right - a full license management java library that can handle verifying licenses and limiting / enabling features in your software.

Let us know if you find this useful. Also please feel free to fork the code and send us pull requests for your favourite enhancements.
