Presentation Overview:
This session will include an introduction to the Grails dynamic web application framework and the Groovy language, with highlights from the new features in Grails 2.0 (including agent-based reloading, unit testing mix-ins, and new enhancements to support Servlet 3.0) and Groovy 1.8. We'll also go beyond the basics and demonstrate real-world usage of Grails while live-coding a working Grails application from scratch using Spring, Hibernate, JMS, and other technologies to demonstrate how quickly you can develop Java EE applications in Grails.
