Groovy + Grails Double-Header at Princeton JUG
Posted by Jason Rudolph on May 30th, 2007
If you’ll be in or around the Princeton, NJ area this coming Tuesday (June 5th), mark your calendars for a special Groovy and Grails double-header at the Princeton Java Users Group.
Andrew Glover (co-author of Groovy in Action and author of IBM’s “Practically Groovy” series) will be presenting his talk on Real World Groovy, which will introduce several of Groovy’s handy roadside assistance offerings (including Groovlets, GroovySQL, Groovy Templates, and Builders). Andy will also shed light on when and how to call in that kind of support while traveling down the sometimes rocky road that is modern Java development. (And oh yeah, watch out for the rulers!)
And of course, web development makes up a big part of that road, but that journey needn’t be rocky any longer either. In my presentation on Getting Started with Grails, we’ll see first hand how Grails spares us from the typical flat tires and oil leaks (most likely caused by those sharp angle brackets scattered everywhere) and instead treats us to a turbo-charged development experience.
The meeting starts at 7 PM. Hope to see you there!

Thanks for presenting at the Princeton JUG. Your presentation was extremely well thought out and highlighted Grails features in an very approachable and digestible manner. It has definitely encouraged me to give Groovy another look and to experiment with the Grails framework.

I was very fortunate to meet both experts together. That also over free pizza and drinks. Many thanks to both presenters and ‘Princeton JUG’ for making this happen.
Session from Andrew was excellent and very informative. Wish we could complete the session as planned. He had to fast forward few advanced topics in the last due to time constraints.
Session by Jason was very well presented and equally informative about Grails. If you have missed this excellent opportunity, please do not mis him again during next just stuff symposium in our area.
Cheers, Sudhaker
