May Sydney Groovy Group
I am amazed with how many quality presenters we have had at the Sydney Groovy Group, and the number of project leads that have presented on their Groovy projects.
At the last meeting we got to hear about Griffon from James Williams, one of the project’s lead developers. Griffon is a Grails like framework for developing Swing based desktop applications. I was extremely impressed with Griffon, and how easy it was to create components without having to implement a bunch of event listeners or interfaces that you don’t need or care about. It was also interesting to see how the MVC pattern was applied to a Swing application. It made me wish Griffon was around 10 years ago when I was building Swing applications for Xylogy.
The May Sydney Groovy group will be meeting this Wednesday. Graeme Rocher will be giving a webinar on Grails, plus a run down on the recent GR8 Conference. So you’ll get to hear first hand on where Spring intends to take Groovy and Grails.
If you intend to make it to the meeting then please express your interest in the forums.
