This Week in Grails (2011-37)

Sunday, September 18th, 2011

Lots of jobs this week. There are a few reposts but most are new – it’s a good time to be a Grails developer.

Starting this week these posts will be translated into Italian thanks to Luca Canducci. Many thanks to Luca for volunteering to do this translation, and of course to Aitor Alzola, Jian Hu, and Paulo Pereira for the Spanish, Chinese, and Portuguese translations.

If you want to keep up with these “This Week in Grails” posts you can access them directly via their category link or in an RSS reader with the feed for just these posts.
