Presentation Overview: 1st Talk - "The Groovy Landscape"

This talk is geared to those who are new to Groovy and the goal is to put the Groovy language in is proper context. We will try to answer the following questions:

What are the properties of the language? When and why was it developed? Who is using it and who maintains it? Where can I use it? How do I get started or contribute to development?

2nd Talk - "Grails Security"

Grails is a framework developed for Groovy in the vein of Rails for Ruby. It provides a lot of features for web app security, but does it do enough? What might you need to implement yourself, and what might be provided? This presentation will discuss tips on securing Grails applications, including tools that the framework provides by default for security. It'll also discuss several shortcomings in the current toolset, and how you can avoid them.

He has been developing applications on the JVM for fifteen years and leverages Groovy on a daily basis. David is involved in the Arlington coworking community and is the founder of the DC Groovy user group.
