I’m starting yet another project at work using the grails framework. Loving the RAD. Will need to dig a little more into Gorm to map contraints between classes/tables. Can’t wait till grails 1.2 is final and it is in the maven reporitoty. Still using 1.1.x

Attended DevNexus 2009 in Atlanta last tuesday and wednesday and it was great. Neal Ford lit the place up in his keynote and his TDD session. Definitely one of the best bang for your buck in terms of software conferences. Most of which have not figured out there is a recession going on. At 185.00 , even a street programmer like me could attend. The Atlanta Java Users Group did a great job in setting this up.

From the man ( Guillaume Laforge) himself:
As I said on my blog, and as is said on the FAQ, the license of Groovy
will stay Apache 2.
No worries to have there.To make a parallel, it’s not because SpringSource acquired Covalent
(the main Tomcat committers) that they made Tomcat change its license.
Same goes with Groovy: Groovy will stick to ASL 2.
It seems like every time I turn around, I see another announcement about how Groovy can be used can be used with X framework. Let’s see, we can already make Struts2 actions with ‘em. Can do the same for Seam 2.0 and Wicket. What’s next? inclusion into the next version of Java?
