Building conventions using Grails plugins, video now available

Posted by: Russell Miles on 04/15/2009

I was very lucky during my paternity leave to be able to head off to London, leaving my poor wife to deal with the dirty nappies, to deliver a talk on building conventions using Grails plugins.

Grails, and in particular the plugins architecture, is something I have been delving into in some depth recently and this talk was my opportunity to walk everyone through the process, sped up to get the work done in just under an hour and a half.

I hope those that could make it enjoyed the talk, and for those that couldn't Skills Matter kindly recorded a video of the event. To complete the picture I'll be posting the sample code project here later on today.
