Get down with Groovy. A Quick intro.

Henri will present at our next regular BLUG meeting at BTC, Thursday July 3rd from 7 pm till 9 pm.

Groovy is an agile, dynamic programming language for the Java Virtual
Machine. Groovy includes features found in Python, Ruby and SmallTalk,
but has a syntax similar to the Java programming language.

Groovy features full compatibility with Java code and existing
libraries.   From simple scripts to easier Swing desktop apps to full
web applications Groovy is easy to use and easy to read.

Henri will cover the basics of Groovy, a few scripting examples and, if
time permits, a simple web application using the Grails framework.
