Presentation #1: Easing into Agile
“How do you get started with an Agile development methodology? Everyone
has been talking about eXtreme Programming for years, but how do you get
it introduced to your team? Many times, you’re not simply transitioning
from from one methodology to another — you’re introducing a methodology
for the first time. Adding structure to a previously unstructured
endeavor. Adding a touch of discipline where programmers once roamed free.”
Presentation #2: Real World Grails
“Scott Davis is the Editor in Chief of aboutGroovy.com. The website, in
addition to being, umm, about Groovy, is implemented in Grails. This
talk shows you how to get started with Grails, but also talks about the
experience of using it in a live, production web site.
Grails is a web framework that maximizes the strengths of familiar Java
libraries — Spring, Hibernate, and Sitemesh, to name a few — while
minimizing the XML jockeying it usually takes to get them all to play
nicely with one another. It brings “Convention over Configuration” to
Java. It uses Groovy as the language to glue the pieces together, which
means that experienced JEE developers can learn Groovy in the context of
libraries that they are already familiar with.
Grails includes a web server, a database, and all of the libraries
necessary for a full-fledged web application. It will even generate a
directory structure and scaffold common classes (Controllers, Views,
etc.). It is no exaggeration to say that you will have your first
application up and running in minutes. But Grails is more than about a
quick start. In this talk, we’ll look at ways to move beyond the default
configurations. We’ll deploy a Grails app to an external Tomcat instance
instead of the included Jetty server. We’ll move from the default HSQLDB
database to MySQL. We’ll include external JARs to bring new
functionality to the mix.”
