            &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
                In this presentation we will address each of these questions. We will take an examples based approach to look at code that can benefit from refactoring. We will discuss how to identify a case for refactoring. Then we will use tools to help us refactor.&#xD;

				Inspired by the Ruby on Rails project, Grails brings the ease of web development and "convention over configuration" to the Java platform.  We will learn how to create web applications using Grails, how to integrate it with Hibernate, and how to Ajax it, all using the built in features of Grails. This section assumes that you are familiar with Groovy or you have attended the Groovy for Java Programmers session. The session will be example driven with live coding where we will build a web application from scratch.&#xD;

			&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
				You can have rapid web development with Rails without losing access to your critical Java code. With the explosion of the Ruby programming language, more developers will need a strategy for letting Java and Ruby interoperate. This session explores two strategies: JRuby and Rails-based web services. &#xD;
