Guillaume LaForge
Head of Groovy Development for SpringSource
As Head of Groovy Development for SpringSource, Guillaume Laforge is the official Groovy Project Manager, and the spec lead of JSR-241, the Java Specification Request that standardizes the Groovy dynamic language. He is also a frequent conference speaker presenting Groovy and Grails at JavaOne, SpringOne, QCon, the Sun TechDays, and JavaPolis. Guillaume also co-authored Groovy in Action along with Dierk König. Before founding G2One, which was acquired by SpringSource in late 2008, and taking the role of VP Technology, Guillaume worked for OCTO Technology, a consultancy focusing on architecture and agile methodologies. While at OCTO, Guillaume developed new offerings around Groovy and Grails for its customers.

Use of scripting languages within a enterprise Java environment is on the rise. In this session Rod and Guillaume will examine practical scenarios where scripting adds value. You'll not only learn where dynamic languages such as Groovy fit, you'll also learn how to work with them effectively in a Spring environment.
While Spring has had scripting support for awhile now, only recently have we seen much uptake in this support by our user community. Use of scripting languages within a enterprise Java environment is definitely on the rise.
In this session Rod and Guillaume will examine practical scenarios where scripting adds value. You'll not only learn where dynamic languages fit, you'll also learn how to work with them effectively in a Spring environment.
The Holy Grails of Web Frameworks
By Guillaume LaForge
This session will introduce Grails, a new and innovative web framework based on a dynamic language, Groovy, with a solid foundation in off the shelf enterprise-ready frameworks such as Spring, Hibernate and SiteMesh.
Based on the "convention over configuration" paradigm initiated by the Ruby on Rails framework, this session will demonstrate how Grails can help you build powerful web applications in no time, while still being able to take advantage of your existing knowledge and expertise on the Java EE platform and the wealth of components available in the Java ecosystem.

Groovy, the brand-new language for the Java platform, brings to Java many of the features that have made Ruby popular. Groovy in Action is a comprehensive guide to Groovy programming, introducing Java developers to the new dynamic features that Groovy provides. To bring you Groovy in Action, Manning again went to the source by working with a team of expert authors including both members and the Manager of the Groovy Project team. The result is the true definitive guide to the new Groovy language.
Groovy in Action introduces Groovy by example, presenting lots of reusable code while explaining the underlying concepts. Java developers new to Groovy find a smooth transition into the dynamic programming world. Groovy experts gain a solid reference that challenges them to explore Groovy deeply and creatively.
Because Groovy is so new, most readers will be learning it from scratch. Groovy in Action quickly moves through the Groovy basics, including:
Simple and collective Groovy data types Working with Closures and Groovy Control Structures Dynamic Object Orientation, Groovy style Readers are presented with rich and detailed examples illustrating Groovy's enhancements to Java, including
How to Work with Builders and the GDK Database programming with Groovy Groovy in Action then demonstrates how to Integrate Groovy with XML, and provides,
Tips and Tricks Unit Testing and Build Support Groovy on Windows An additional bonus is a chapter dedicated to Grails, the Groovy Web Application Framework.
Early PDF chapters of Groovy in Action are available from the Manning Early Access Program (MEAP) at http://www.manning.com/koenig. As part of this program, readers can also discuss the early manuscript with the author and help shape the manuscript as it's being developed by joining the Author Forum.
