I’ve been asked by my friend and co-worker Manfred Moser<\/a> to give a presentation at next month’s Vancouver Island Java user’s group meeting<\/a>, and silly me I said yes before remembering that speaking in front of people always makes me feel quesy and light-headed. Thanks Manfred for the kind invitation; I’ll do my best to make it a good show.<\/p>\n

No sooner had Manfred let loose a message on the Tweetosphere than Andres Almiray<\/a> very graciously offered up some free copies of the upcoming book Griffon in Action<\/a> to give away at the meeting. Thanks for that Andres!<\/p>\n

The company I work for, Genologics<\/a>, also gave me permission to publish a presentation that I gave recently at work as a Groovy primer for other members of the development staff. Thanks for that Cliff!<\/p>\n

I demonstrated some code in SwingPad and created an application using a GMaven<\/a> archetype to show off some of the sweetness that Groovy adds to the Java toolbox. It’s worth noting that even though that page doesn’t say it, GMaven recently released a 1.0 final verison(NICE!)<\/p>\n

I’ve attached the presentation and some of the source code examples for anyone who might be interested, including the maven project that contains a variety of MOP, builder and GDK extension samples.<\/p>\n
