Live Groovy (& XUL) Talk @ Nov/10th @ VanJUG Vancouver, BC

Hello,

  If you happen to be in Vancouver, BC on Wednesday,
November 10th I invite you to the Java User Group
(VanJUG) meeting where I will talk about Groovy and
touch on how Groovy and XUL can work together.

  The official title is "Groooooovy Babe: Jazzing Up
Plain Old Java: Scripting Power for Java - Do More
With Less (Lines of Code)" and the summary states:

   Gerald introduces you to Groovy, a free,
open-source dynamic language in Java for the Java
runtime that borrows the best from dynamic languages
such as Python, Ruby or Smalltalk and offers it to you
in an all-in-one package using a Java-style syntax.
Groovy compiles straight to Java bytecode on-the-fly
and works out-of-the-box with all existing Java
objects and libraries. Groovy offers higher-level
functions and iterators (=closures), built-in syntax
for lists and maps, markup (XML), regular expressions
(regex), ranges, and much much more.


  The official announcement for the upcoming VanJUG
meeting should show up any minute @
