Presentation summary:

  Michael Kimsal will demonstrate the Grails web framework, a
  "convention over configuration" Java web framework relying on
  best of breed familiar technologies such as Spring, Hibernate
  and Groovy. We'll cover the basic setup, layouts, conventions
  (models, views, controllers, services), the GORM layer, common
  plugins and some of the recent and upcoming changes to Groovy

  the last TriJUG Grails presentation in 2008, so be prepared to
  be amazed all over again!
