Groovy CodeCamp - June 20th 2009

06/20/2009 - Groovy Code Camp - Brought to you by ThirstyHead and Integrallis

Come join us for a full day of hands on Groovy

Description:

Code Camps are meant to give attendees hands on experience on a technology. The Groovy Code Camp will build your Groovy muscle memory by leveraging your existing Java knowledge making you an effective Groovy developer in no time.

Code Camps consist of short mini-lectures, ranging from 10 to 20 minutes, followed by hands on exercises. Whenever possible, we have two projection screens running concurrently, one displaying the lecture materials and one showing live code. During the hands on portions of the camp, our Groovyists will make rounds helping attendees complete their exercises.

By the end of the day you'll walk away having amassed enough Groovy to build robust Groovy applications, better Grails applications and improve the state of your existing Java ones.
