Northern Virginia Software Symposium
November 7 - 9, 2014
The Quest for the Holy Grails
Friday - Nov 7 5:00 PM EST - Meeting Room 6
Learn Grails from basic principles to advanced concepts by building a small, but interesting, application.
We'll start with basic domain classes, controllers, and views, and add in SiteMesh layouts, internationalization, transactional services, REST capabilities, and as many plugins as time allows.
