Jerome Pimmel organizes the next Groovy/Grails meetup and writes on the forum/mailing list:

Time is fast approaching for another Vancouver Groovy & Grails developer meet and if you haven’t looked at Groovy and Grails recently it’s come a long long way since even August last year.
…
Topics under the spotlight this time round are twofold:

EasyB: BDD For Groovy & Grails (Jerome Pimmel)

EasyB leverages the Groovy language with a simple readable DSL for writing BDD style tests. But why BDD over TDD? Come and find out…

Grails 1.1 Testing Lightning Talk (Geoff Webb)

Compared to 1.0.X versions (and compared to many languages too), Grails beds in an impressive amount of testing support to promote and simplify TDD and Agile/XP practices. Testing integration pieces like controllers, taglibs or domain classes is now faster and less cumbersome; importantly they no longer require a Spring container and can often be run as simpler unit tests.

Hopefully this can be made into a more regular event with a variety of speakers who are interested in discussing other Groovy and Grails problem-solving-fu. If you have a topic you would like to share at a future event, please feel free to get in touch.

Note: If you haven’t already RSVP’d for attendance, we would appreciate if you could RSVP either to the list or directly to me – Jerome Pimmel <frankly.watson -at- gmail.com>.

Thanks and see you Monday!

Jerome
