August Meeting - Groovy and Java: The Integration Story This event is being
sponsored by the good folks at www.nofluffjuststuff.com (Oct 5th thru 7th)

 

Description:

Scott is attracted to Groovy because of its spirit of inclusiveness. Because
it extends his platform of choice, not replaces it -- include a single JAR
in your classpath and you are Groovy-enabled. Because it offers full
bidirectional integration with Java. Because it offers a nearly flat
learning curve for experienced Java developers. Come see how you can use
Groovy to augment your existing Java codebase. 

 

Speaker: Scott Davis

platforms, from J2EE to J2SE to J2ME (sometimes all on the same project). He
is the co-author of JBoss At Work, quite possibly the world's first agile
J2EE book. He is also responsible for several mapping books, including
Google Maps API and GIS for Web Developers: Adding Where to Your Web
Applications. Most recently, Scott became the Editor in Chief of
