In Reston, VA for 2GX - No Fluff Just Stuff

In Reston, VA for 2GX

Posted by: Dave Klein on February 20, 2008

The Groovy/Grails Experience starts tomorrow! I arrived in Reston, VA this evening since I couldn't get a flight in early enough tomorrow. I am very excited about this conference and very grateful to be able to attend. I have been working with Groovy and Grails for about a year now and have been enjoying it immensely but there is still so much more to learn. So, that's what I will be doing for the next three days. I just hope my brain doesn't explode. It's not quite as expandable as it was in my younger days.

Apart from the excellent learning opportunity, I am also excited about the people that are going to be here. So many of the developers and power users of Groovy and Grails are going to be here. I've read their books, I read their blogs, I read their messages as they help people on the mailing lists, I have even heard some of them on pod casts, but it will be great to actually meet them.

I will try to post throughout the weekend with any interesting tidbits I pickup at the conference.
