This Week in Grails (2012-42)

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.
