Groovy and Grails at JavaOne

It's less than a week until JavaOne 2008! It is going to be an exciting week packed full of brain stretching content. There will be technical sessions, birds of a feather sessions, panels, keynotes, etc. on just about everything having anything to do with Java. But most importantly, there will be a bunch of Groovy and Grails related sessions. Starting with Jeff Brown's Grails presentation at Community One on Monday, followed by the G2One / NoFluffJustStuff gala Monday evening at the W Hotel.

Then for the rest of the week a groovy search in the Content Catalog turned up the following list:
