Groovy and Grails for Fun and Profit

(0 Ratings)

Groovy is a dynamic Java dialect that makes programming on the JVM fun again. Couple that with Grails, the agile full-stack MVC web framework built on Grails and other best-of-breed technologies, and you have the potential to deliver huge amounts of value to your customers (and make a nice profit along the way!) This presentation will take a brief tour of both of these technologies and then hop off of the trail to go exploring wherever your interests lie!
