This Week in Grails (2011-16)
Sunday, April 24th, 2011This week was a bit less intense than last week (thankfully) now that Cloud Foundry is live. It’s been interesting watching the buzz about peoples’ experiences getting started with deploying apps and even running local vcap instances.
SpringOne/2GX 2011 was announced this week, and it’s in Chicago again. Actually Chicago for real this time – last year it was moved out to Lombard due to construction issues but this year it’ll be right in the city. It should be another great conference – a lot has happened already since the last one and we still have six more months to go.
GR8Conf is coming up soon (less than a month), and more presenter interviews have been published:
