[BNM] Brighton Groovy and Grails meet up (GGUG) 24 March at 7pm

[James Page]

Dear All,

I am new to the list, but I thought people may be interested in this event.

We are helping to organise the first Groovy and Grails meet up in Brighton
on the 24 March at 7pm, at the Historic Regency Town House. Graeme Rocher,
the project lead of Grails will demonstrate the speed of developing in the
framework by building a Twitter clone in less than 40 minutes.

Come along and find out why Wired magazine, Linked In, Pepsi Cola, Sky TV
use Grails.

Groovy is a language mainly developed in Britain which is an agile and
dynamic language for the Java Virtual Machine, which builds upon the
strengths of Java but has additional power features inspired by languages
like Python, Ruby and Smalltalk makes modern programming features available
to Java developers with almost-zero learning curve and increases developer
productivity by reducing scaffolding code when developing web, GUI, database
or console applications

Grails is an open-source web application framework that leverages the Groovy
language and complements Java Web development. You can use Grails as a
standalone development environment that hides all configuration details or
integrate your Java business logic. Grails aims to make development as
simple as possible and hence should appeal to a wide range of developers not
just those from the Java community.

This event is aimed at anybody interested in the Grails and Groovy. The
event is free, but places are limited.

 My company Feralabs will provide some beer and wine.
