The Groovy Ecosystem
Groovy is the fastest growing JVM language out there. It might be because it is so easy for Java developers to pick it up, but also because there's an increasing number of projects and libraries that make use of Groovy as the starting point. In this session we'll cover frameworks the following topics: - Frameworks Grails, Griffon, Gaelyk - Build Systems Gant, Gradle - Testing Easyb, Spock - Code Quality CodeNarc, GMetrics - Libraries GPars, GContracts
Polyglot Programming
The JVM boasts one of the biggest software ecosystems: you will find libraries, components and servers of all sizes, types, colors and flavors; which have made it the choice language for many. However the JVM is open enough to let other languages live in it, these languages provide new features and concepts that the Java language does not have. Some of these languages are even Java friendly. On this session we'll discover the benefits of adding a bit of spice to your Java development skills by exploring Groovy's metaprogramming techniques, Scala's functional side and Clojure's approach to managing concurrency.
