Abstract

Remember the epic Java Puzzlers? Here’s the Groovy version, and we have some neat ones! Even though we are totally a Grails shop here at JFrog, some of these had us scratching our heads for days trying to figure them out.
And there is more! Contributions from the truly Groovy senseis, including @glaforge, @aalmiray, @tim_yates, @kenkousen make this talk an unforgettable journey to Groovy’s O_o.
In this talk you’ll have the expected dose of fun and enlightenment hearing about our mistakes and failures, great and small, in hardcore Groovy/Grails development.
