This Week in Grails (2011-01)
Sunday, January 09th, 2011This week had a lot of activity – over 20 plugins were updated and there were a lot of job leads.
I’ve added a new section for Meetups, user group meetings, etc. I’ll post whatever I find, but if you run a user group please contact me in advance of the meetup and I’ll be sure to get it included in that week’s update.
