Grails and Groovy

We had been doing a lot work with SVG, HTML5, Node.js and a lot of other cool technologies which are going to be the core of  all future web browsers.
Its been proving extremely difficult, since they are still all being birthed.
In my opinion, I never start developing in a new open standard until IE adopts it.
But the buzz has been generated, and IE has also proven to be too slow in their development.
So we are working on it regardless of Microsoft’s slowness.
They do have a great demo page though.

Its definitely worth a look at!

If you have ever looked at my personality profile, which is here online, you can plainly see that my main passion in life
is learning new technologies. So I am excited to say, that I have been charged with the task
of creating an administration system in Grails.
For those who are not familiar with it, Grails is basically Java. This takes me back, with a nostalgic feeling, which lifts me and transports me to the days of academia.
Images fill my mind, of when I sat in a web development class, and learned how to manipulate .JSP files, and write Servlets, and learned of Spring and Hibernate.
I can’t wait to master this new skill set. 🙂
