Abstract:
This presentation will make the argument that Groovy on Grails is the 
forerunning web application framework and the no-brainer choice for web 
development in a Java context. It will begin with an extensive 
introduction to Grails, including a discussion of the Java open source 
technologies that it is built on and some of the framework's key 
concepts. The BackgroundThread and Autobase plugins, which respectively 
handle fire-and-forget background processing and database migrations, 
will also be briefly presented. Finally, the presentation will end with 
a challenge-response session on Grails development and functionality.

About the Speaker:
Robert Fischer is an independent Grails consultant, Groovy Magazine 
contributor, and author of the open source Grails "Autobase" and 
"BackgroundThread" plugins, along with the "JConch" concurrency library 
for Java. He moved into the Triangle area in July.
