Grails 2 - This changes everything

Grails has been one of the most productive and robust frameworks to grace the Java landscape in some time. But nothing lasts forever and Grails was bound to be surpassed by a newer faster, shinier framework. Introducing Grails 2. With major improvements in persistence, view generation, testing, and so much more, Grails 2 really does change everything.

This presentation will be in an introduction to Grails with an emphasis on the new features in Grails 2. We will rapidly build a feature-rich JEE web app from start to finish and have some fun along the way.
