Gaelyk, a lightweight Groovy toolkit for Google App Engine
Guillaume will present Gaelyk, a lightweight Groovy toolkit for easily developing Groovy applications to be deployed on Google App Engine Java. We'll learn more about what the toolkit provides, how to leverage it for your own needs through some demos.
We'll see how to setup a Gaelyk application thanks to a template project, how to develop groovlets controllers and view templates, how to define routes for the URL routing system. We'll also describe all the syntax sugar and the shortcuts provided by Gaelyk on top of the Google App Engine SDK, and we'll eventually discuss briefly the simple plugin system that comes built-in.
