If you can't be a good speaker, be a groovy speaker

Posted by: Ken Sipe on 06/22/2009

I will be speaking on groovy and grails at the up coming 2GX conference in New Orleans in October. If you are in the groovy space or you are just looking, you don't want to miss this... all the big names will be there. Most of the leading authors and committers in the groovy, grails and griffon space will be there!

How I got to be among them is beyond me... but it sure is groovy!

My topics include security, where the focus will include defense against hacking techniques such as injection flaws and XSS, followed by a walk through of the security plugin and how to secure urls and services. The second session is on Java memory management, the memory demands of a dynamic language, along with tools on debugging Grails applications in production.
