This Week in Grails (2011-14)

Lots going on this week – there are 23 job listings. And I’ve also noticed that the Grails activity on Stack Overflow has picked up a lot and was rather active this week.

Be sure to check out the VMware webcast on the 12th (this Tueday). I’ve heard a rumor that there will be interesting news for Grails developers 😉

GR8Conf is coming up soon, and more presenter interviews have been published:
