Simplify Development with Groovy and Grails

Groovy started in 2003 with the following goals: To simplify the lives of developers Seamlessly integrate with the Java platform Be dynamic to open up possibilities Groovy and Grails are Booming! More than 5,000 Groovy downloads per month, peaking at 10,000 with a new release Over 1,000 mailing list subscribers Up to 1,000 messages per month on the list After last years Groovy / Grails talks at JavaOne there were over 7,000 downloads in just one week!

Scott Davis, author of Groovy Recipes says Groovy is “what the Java language would look like had it been written in the 21st century”. Statically-typed languages limit productivity and expressiveness. Dynamic languages and Web frameworks are changing application development dramatically. This is a major opportunity for application developers!

Scott Davis and the No Fluff Just Stuff Symposium series are offering 3 day intensive Mastering Groovy and Grails workshops . The next workshop is scheduled for Aug. 06 - 08, 2008 in Herndon, VA . If you can’t make it to Herndon, check out groovygrails.com we will be announcing more training dates soon. In addition, we will be hosting our second Groovy / Grails Experience (2GX) in September in San Jose, CA. Details will be posted later this summer.
