Groovy 201: putting Groovy to use quickly

It has been said that Grails is the addiction and Groovy is the drug. If you want to start building slick web applications rapidly with Grails it helps to start with a solid understanding of the Groovy language itself and all of its manifestations for interfacing with JDBC, manipulating XML, creating simple web applications and much more.

In this session, I assume you know the basics of Groovy as outlined in Groovy 101– 201 takes the next step and will focus on Groovy Builders, GroovySQL, Templates, Groovlets, and we'll even take a look at how to create simple DSLs using Builders and a bit of MOP magic.
