ojug meeting tue oct 20th — grails and/or netty
The 3rd Tuesday is coming up. Scott Hickey has tentatively agreed to give a talk about Groovy/Grails, with the caveat that he just started a new remote gig as a Grails tech lead and so may have to be out, depending on how his ramp-up time is going.
If Scott can’t make it, I’ve been hacking on a non-blocking HTTP proxy server built on top of JBoss’s Netty asynchronous I/O framework. It’s a pretty small project and I think a good intro to how asynchronous I/O, the current darling of systems that scale to thousands of concurrent connections, works.
Netty has been getting some press as a potential successor to Apache’s Mina asynchronous I/O framework for building low-level custom protocols. E.g. previously I’ve used Mina to talk binary to a card processing system.
