Training Summary

However, how many can leverage the full power of the platform? Maybe you've heard about frameworks such as Ruby on Rails, Django or TurboGears and would like to achieve similar benefits in your development shop? Don’t let DHH and the Rails community have all the fun... This workshop is intended to be a solid and pragmatic introduction to using Grails & Groovy at work, or for those advocating or promoting such rapid development frameworks to management. Read on to learn more!
