This Week in Grails (2012-23)

GR8Conf EU was this week in Copenhagen, and it was a lot of fun. The organizers really raised the bar this year by brewing beer for the conference (and not one but two kinds). You can see most of the presentation slides here by clicking through to each talk.

Some of the organizers of the Greach conference were there and apparantly they’re planning on adding extending the size of this year’s conference, and all of the talks will be in English.

Of course there was a lot of activity on Twitter (search the #gr8conf hashtag):

One big item of note was that Griffon 1.0.0 was released live during one of Andres’ talks. Congrats to the Griffon team for this significant milestone. And coincidentally my copy of Griffon in Action arrived today.

Check out Mr. Haki’s conference report in three parts; University Day, Day One, and Day Two, and Andres Almiray’s conference blog post.

Not to be outdone by the Griffon team, the Gradle team announced today that they have
released version 1.0.
