Play vs. Grails Smackdown

In this session, Matt and James will develop two apps that do the same thing. One will be written in Grails and one will be written in Play. We'll deploying them to Heroku and hammer them to see how they both perform under load. Afterward, we'll compare performance, lines of code, etc.
