Over the last three years, I have been fortunate to use Groovy as part of a large J2EE application at a Fortune 500 insurance company. One of the interesting things I witnessed with regards to Groovy is that it really lowers the barrier for more »Presentations

Real World Groovy
By Scott Hickey
You are considering Groovy for your next project. You search the web for more information only to get conflicting or incomplete information. It's hard to distinguish FUD from fact. In this session, we go beyond the theoretical and discuss everything you want to know about using Groovy in a real world corporate Java project. This presentation is based upon four years of actual experience using Groovy as part of a large J2EE project at a Fortune 500 Insurance company as well as using Groovy and Grails on two medium-sized corporate projects.
We will review code examples using Spring, Groovy collections and Groovy decimal math. We will cover compiling Groovy in Ant build scripts and code coverage for Groovy classes. We will show why Groovy is an excellent choice for test driven development. Finally, we will also cover some decision points for incorporating Groovy into a real business project and strategies for mitigating risk.

Continuous Integration and Testing with Grails
By Scott Hickey
Grails is a powerful and productive framework for quickly developing web applications. Using Grails, it is easy to develop a lot functionality in short amount of time. This makes it all the more important to have a solid plan in place for managing change through continuous integration and automated testing. In this session, we'll start by looking at Grails' built-in support for unit and integration testing. Next, we will walk through setting up a continuous integration server to run our tests. Finally, we'll explore plugins that support functional testing and code coverage.
