This Week in Grails (2012-47)

Wednesday, November 28th, 2012

The big news of this week is the updated grails.org site. This was a big effort and a combination of work by VMware employees and community members, including Eric Berry, Damien Vitrac, and Craig Burke. The site is a Grails application and is open source – the repo is here if you have a fix or a new feature and want to send a pull request. We track issue in JIRA here so if you see anything weird let us know.

As part of the site upgrade, we’ve implemented a new system for submitting plugins. Instead of mailing the dev list, submit it with this form. Disqus is enabled throughout the site, so you can use that to make suggestions and ask questions about submitted plugins, and comment on other parts of the site too.

The winners of the Grails48 hackathon have been announced. Congrats to the team at OSOCO for their 1st-place finish!

The early access edition of Programming Grails was updated this week with three new chapters, for a total of ten. Only two more to go 🙂

This Week in Grails (2012-45)

Wednesday, November 14th, 2012

The Grails48 hackathon was this weekend. Sounds like people got a lot done – I’m looking forward to seeing the various applications that were created and of course to see who wins the various prizes 🙂

The 2012 Groovy & Grails Exchange is coming up soon – it’s only a month away. Be sure to get your tickets now before the price goes up again. And the 2013 Greach conference is not long after that. I’ll be speaking at both and I’m looking forward to the conferences, especially Greach since I haven’t been to Spain before.

I started working on a Grails plugin that provides a UI for P6Spy a long time ago, but didn’t finish it. It was based on the sqlprofiler Swing application that connects to your application with an RMI appender. I’m not sure what triggered me to look at it again but I picked it back up this weekend and got it working. See the plugin page for more information; the source is on Github so feel free to send pull requests with updates (especially CSS and UI-related fixes since I’m not great at developing user interfaces).

This Week in Grails (2012-42)

Wednesday, October 24th, 2012

The big news last week was SpringOne 2GX in Washington, DC. It was a lot of fun as usual, and apparently 300 of the over 1000 attendees were there for the Groovy and Grails content, so that’s a great indicator of interest in the technologies – perhaps in another few years we’ll be over 50% 🙂 There was as usual a lot of Twitter activity during the conference (search using the #sg2x hashtag):

Also check out Ryan Vanderwerf’s SpringOne2GX Wrap up. I’m sure there will be more like this in next week’s post too.

I did a blog post this week on Logging Hibernate SQL based on a question at one of my 2GX talks.

This Week in Grails (2012-38)

Tuesday, September 25th, 2012

We released Grails 2.2 RC1 this week. It has initial support for artifact namespaces, and uses Groovy 2.0. Please start looking now to make sure that your applications and plugins work with Grails 2.2 and Groovy 2.0 so we can identify and fix issues before the final release. Peter Lebrook pointed out that some plugin code is failing to compile in Groovy 2.0 due to it being stricter in certain ways.

The Groovy team released version 2.0.4 to address some issues in 2.0.3.

There has been a lot of interest in the upcoming Grails Hackathon November 9th-11th. It will be coordinated online but some local user groups are getting together to work in-person.

The dates for the 2013 Greach conference in Madrid have been announced – January 25th-26th.

The second pre-release version of Programming Grails is now available; there are four new chapters (for a total of seven). Download the updated version from your O’Reilly account.
