This Week in Grails (2011-03)

Sunday, January 23rd, 2011

This week was another good one for Groovy and Grails-related items, especially the job listings which do seem to be picking up. I’ve added a subsection with keyword search links for a few job sites and also a link to the @SpringSourceJob Twitter feed (Grails jobs are quite rare but we are hiring for various interesting positions).
