Now it's official

Graeme has just posted it.
Congratulations to the G2One guys.

SpringSource has bought G2One

I just read it, but I'm not sure if it is realy true, what The Register writes today. G2One is the company of Graeme Rocher and the other guys behind Groovy and Grails. SpringSource is the company behind the awesome Spring framework, which is also the base of Grails.
Hopefully there will come a lot of benefit from this acquisition for Grails. My biggest wish is, that they will bring Grails to Spring Dynamic Modules for OSGi and thus onto a great OSGi infrastructure. This would also fix the most voted issue for Grails.

Girl Effect

There is chrismas coming soon. So start thinking, if buying much presents for all the people you know, is the best you can do with your money.
You can also give it to someone who can do much more with it:

GroovyMag, oh yeah!

I just read on the Grails homepage, that #1 of the GroovyMag is released.
You can buy it as a PDF online, which is great, since I come from Germany and a magazine printed for the US doesn't make any sence for me.
I'll give it try and tell you how it is.
So keep on grooving.

Groovy for Java Testing

One thing I like so much on YouTube is the mass of cool videos of talks, provided there. So have a look to this cool video:



It gives a little introduction to Groovy, it's integration to Java and it's awesome usabillity as a language for testing your Java code.
