This Week in Grails (2012-29)

Everyone should check out this informative article on Cyclomatic Complexity in Groovy code. I find that people often tend to get pretty lazy when writing code in Groovy and worry less about code quality since Groovy eliminates so much of the clutter and ceremony. But it’s still important to write great code, so having tools like GMetrics and CodeNarc to do automated quality checks can help a lot to keep us honest.

I can’t believe that GR8Conf US 2012 is next week! I’ve got to get started on those presentations 😉

I thought this image (based on the “Yo Dawg” meme) about the plugin-config plugin was pretty funny.
