This Week in Grails (2011-46)

Sunday, November 20th, 2011

Devoxx and the first Australian Gr8Conf were this week, and both generated a lot of Twitter activity – see #gr8conf and #devoxx.

Be sure to get your ticket for the Groovy & Grails eXchange in London if you haven’t already, it’s coming up in just 3 weeks.

I wrote a couple more blog posts; check out Hibernate Bags in Grails 2.0 and Dynamic Controllers in Grails

I heard a rumor that Grails 2.0 RC2 might be released this week 🙂
