This month I had the privilege of attending the
SpringOne 2GX conference in Chicago. It was an amazing event for me where I got to meet the leaders in the field and learned many new things. I primarily went to dive in deep into the latest Groovy and Grails developments, technologies, and trends. This blog serves as a housing place for my notes on each presentation I attended. At the end of the blog, I have posted the original presentations and made them available.
