Chris Johnson will be giving a talk about Groovy.

"Java is a great technology – enterprise grade and time-tested.  Java powers some of the most critical systems in the world.

But, did you know that Java recently had its 15^th birthday?   Groovy is a Java derivative that takes the best parts of Java and adds modern language features like dynamic typing and closures, which improve developer productivity.  It takes nearly zero learning curve for Java developers and integrates seamlessly with existing Java code.  Developers of any language will benefit from hearing about the modern language features that Groovy provides.

It’s time to get Groovy."
