First Presentation:
Transforming to Groovy
Here’s the slide deck from Venkat: http://www.agiledeveloper.com/presentations/transformingToGroovy.zip
Groovy is a elegant, dynamic, agile, OO language. I like to program in Groovy because it is fun and the code is concise and highly expressive. Writing code in a language is hardly about using its syntax, however. It is about using the right idioms. This talk will cover some nice Groovy idioms.
