Agile Web Development with Grails

Our friends from NFJS will be brining in Venkat Subramaniam to speak on Groovy's answer to Rails: Grails. BTW the Calgary NFJS will be September 28 - 30, 2007

Agile development is all about developing code and seeking feedback from your users to make sure you're developing what's relevant. When they suggest changes, those must be affordable and reliable. Grails, along with its facility to develop test driven, is a killer combination for rapidly developing web applications. In this ZePo (Zero PowerPoint) presentation, we will take a test driven approach to developing a small but fully functional web application in Grails. We will cover the fundamental features of Grails along with utilizing other capabilities like Ajax. At the end of this presentation, you not only be confident, but eager to roll your own web application using Grails.

In this session you will learn
* How to create web application using Grails
* Take a Test Driven Approach to developing the application
* Understand Grails Conventions

models, controllers, and view
* AJAX your application
