Great news everyone, Jason Rudolph has decided to publish some of his Grails presentations to GitHub, this means not only you can read them but also use them to talk about Grails with your peers.

Want to help convince your peers to take Grails for a spin? Are you looking to give a presentation to your dev team, your company, or perhaps a local user group? If you’d rather not have to assemble a presentation from scratch, I’ve got good news for you: you can now grab the raw Keynote files and demo code for my Grails presentations on GitHub. (If you don’t have Keynote, no worries: the PDFs are available as well). And it’s GitHub, so feel free to fork, customize, and spread the good word. Remember: As long as there’s an IDE somewhere with an open struts-config file, there’s a developer in need of help.

If you’re not using Git yet, well, you should be. Seriously. But that’s a different post altogether. In the meantime though, you can download any of the presentations as a zip file or tarball. Just look for the “download” button on the GitHub page for each presentation.

Jason has great skills to direct the audience toward discovering the presentation topics, resulting in a better experience. Here is a video from QCon 2007 to see what we mean if you haven’t been able to watch Jason live.
