 Triangle Java Users Group presents:

   Real World Groovy on Grails: Moving Past Toy Examples.

Presented by:

  Phillip Rhodes

Monday August 15, 2011
6:30 PM - 9:00 PM
Red Hat/Raleigh
1801 Varsity Drive, Raleigh, NC
TriJUG (http://trijug.org) meetings are hosted by JBoss

Presentation summary:

   In this talk, we'll explore lessons learned from using Groovy on Grails
   to build several large(ish) real world projects that are part of the
   ScrewPile suite.  Moving beyond trivial Grails intros, we'll explore
   how to build Grails apps that: send and receive JMS messages, publish
   and consume RSS feeds, use scheduled jobs, integrate text search
   using Lucene, and parse content with Tika.  We'll also explore issues
   related to project structure and configuration, that are needed for
   building real world apps. This talk will feature NO slides, just
   actual code and demonstrations!
