This Week in Grails (2012-39)
SpringSource is giving away a free seat in the Groovy and Grails course – all you have to do is sign up for a newsletter.
I did a few “real” blog posts this week:
- Updates for “Delayed SessionFactory Creation in Grails”
- Stuff I Learned Consulting

According to this blog post the code AUTHD will get you 50% off Programming Grails
.
