Abstract
Groovy and Grails have given us the ability to leverage the strength of the Java Platform (and Eco System) and the productivity of “Convention over Configuration” to construct websites. But what if the User Interface requirements of your new application is best solved with the type of interaction a desktop application provides?
Groovy brings the same productivity gain to desktop applications that Grails brings to web applications. This session will use the Groovy SwingBuilder and popular open source libraries to build a desktop application to interact with a Grails backend.
