Monday, May 21 Triangle Java Users Group meeting

Triangle Java Users Group presents:

   Groovy Edges

 Presented by:

   Jimmy Ray

 Monday May 21, 2012
 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:

See how to use Groovy to create dynamic "Groovy Edges" that can bracket
your interfaces and can be isolated from the rest of the application stack.

What is it about Groovy that best suits it for this task?

   - Groovy can be written as a script and parsed at run-time and compiled
   into Java byte-code and then loaded by the Groovy class loader.
   - Groovy scripts can contain Groovy and Java syntax in the script file
   (*.groovy).
   - Groovy can use the same Java APIs that are used by traditional Java
   code.

Jimmy will cover topics such as:

   - How the Java 7 JVM shows promise with how it manages class-loading
   resources.
   - Leveraging Spring Bean Factory configurations to point to stored
   "Groovy Beans" scripts.
