06/20/2009 - Groovy Code Camp - Brought to you by ThirstyHead and Integrallis
Come join us for a full day of hands on Groovy
Description:
Code Camps are meant to give attendees hands on experience on a technology. The Groovy Code Camp will build your Groovy muscle memory by leveraging your existing Java knowledge making you an effective Groovy developer in no time.
Code Camps consist of short mini-lectures, ranging from 10 to 20 minutes, followed by hands on exercises. Whenever possible, we have two projection screens running concurrently, one displaying the lecture materials and one showing live code. During the hands on portions of the camp, our Groovyists will make rounds helping attendees complete their exercises.
By the end of the day you'll walk away having amassed enough Groovy to build robust Groovy applications, better Grails applications and improve the state of your existing Java ones.
What will you learn?
- POGOs vs. POJOs
- Simplifying your domain model by losing pointless getters and setters
- Better looping with Groovy
- Groovy provides enhanced collections classes that make iteration a breeze
- Easier testing
- Using GroovyTestCases, GMock and Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) with easyB to make testing fun
- Leveraging the dynamic nature of Groovy
- Understanding meta-programming, closures, operator overloading and the amazing ExpandoMetaClass to allow for building the language and DSLs up towards your problem domain
- Look ma! No angle brackets in my build
- Learning Groovy's DSL for working with ANT (GANT) and Maven (GMaven) to make your builds groovy
- Painless parsing with XmlParser and XmlSlurper
- Creative composition with MarkupBuilder and StreamingMarkupBuilder

EclipseWorld™ is the industry's first independent conference for Java developers, architects and development managers using Eclipse tools and technologies.
Brian Sam-Bodden from Integrallis will be speaking at EclipseWorld about Mylyn
Abstract:
Task management has come a long way since the days when the best tools we had were sticky notes. This class will teach you how to use Mylyn, a task-focused toolkit for the Eclipse IDE that lets you and your team focus on tasks in a way that you’ve never been able to do before. Mylyn eliminates the constant context switching produced by the typical ways IDEs are used. No more scrolling/browsing/searching/tagging/sending e-mails with progress updates... we’ll show you how to use Mylyn to reduce information overload.

We have an even better lineup of speakers and talks than we did last year, if you can believe it. We are going to be covering topics such as data warehousing, JRuby, testing legacy JEE code with JRuby, Ruby code generation, enterprise workflows and many, many more topics.
Registration is only $199 for early birds. Space is limited this year so make sure to sign up early.
