13:15-14:00 TESTING DYNAMIC WEBSITES WITH GEB: A NEWBIE'S PERSPECTIVE
 Tomas Lin: Geb is a new functional testing framework based on Groovy that provides Page Object support, a Query-like syntax and powerful webdriver integration. But can we use it for real projects?

15:15-16:00 HIGH VOLUME, SCALABLE AJAX WITH GRAILS
 David Dawson: Implementing a large, hopefully popular, application, involves more than just pretty pictures and some ajax magic. Threads, latency, bandwidth and all the rest, need to be thought about before it's unleashed on the world. In this talk David Dawson will demonstrate different approaches on how to scale your thread management and latency concerns in your Grails and Ajax applications. View the podcast here...
16:15-17:00 GROOVY SOLUTIONS FOR DATA FLOWS
  Georgios Flouris & Raffaele Cigni: EPO has developed a Data Flow Language (DFL, a Groovy domain specific language) to leverage similarities in the processes for communicating with each individual country’s patent office, and transform them into a single, universal process.

 Peter Ledbrook: During this session, members of the Groovy & Grails User Group will join us for some learning, discussion, drinks and pizza.

View the podcast here...
14:15-15:00 INTRODUCING THE NEW STATIC RESOURCES FRAMEWORK FOR GRAILS
 Marc Palmer: Marc will take you through the new Resources plugin and its companion plugins, introducing the concept of declarative static resource dependencies and all the smarts that come with this. You'll see cleaner GSPs and layouts, smarter integration with plugins that expose static resources, and get a whole bunch of performance benefits from the modular resource processing approach this provides.

15:15-16:00 GRAILS SANS SQL

16:15-17:00 GRIFFON IN REAL LIFE
 Sébastien Blanc: Griffon is an amazing framework but when do you really need it? Nowadays, who wants to build old-fashioned Swing Applications? In this talk Sébastien will present two success stories where Griffon was applied successfully and increased the team productivity. The purpose of this talk is to show how you can wrap all the groovy power around an
easy-to-build user interface. View the podcast here...
17:00-17:15 GRAILS & HTML5
Sébastien Blanc: HTML5 is hot and Grails is the most wonderful Web Framework of the world, How can these two entities fit together ? During this talk I will show you how some "hidden" HTML5 features (offline caching, Web
SQL, Geolocation) can be integrated with Grails. I will also cover how the combo "Mobile Web / HTML5 / Grails" is a serious option to conquer the Mobile Web Area. View the podcast here...
