This Week in Grails (2013-11)

Monday, March 18th, 2013

Graeme has been working on adding more asynchronous support for Grails 2.3, with additional controller features and new support for async GORM. Check out the initial documentation.

You can now register for GR8Conf EU at the “early bird” rates – be sure to get your tickets before the prices go up. They have announced the speaker lineup, and they are looking for sponsors. You can also check out their Laynrd page.

Registration for GR8Conf US is also open, and you have until the end of the week to get your ticket at the “Door Buster” rate.

The SpringOne 2GX call for papers call for papers is open, so submit a talk if you’re interested in speaking there in September. If you want to attend, register here before their prices go up.
