[ajug-members] Event Planning: Web Framework Battle

[Bill Siggelkow]

I don't have experience with Grails; however, I have quite a lot of  
experience with Ruby on Rails and would be glad to be a panelist.  
There are a number of common concepts between the two frameworks;  
and, you can, in fact run a Rails app on the JVM using JRuby.
