What is Groovy?
Another programming language?
Are you kidding me?
That is what we often feel when something new comes around, and is something you may be feeling about Groovy. Groovy could fit a niche for you in your daily toil. It is the swiss army nice that Perl is, yet lets you work in a more structured way, and plays nice with the millions of lines of code already written on top of the Java Virtual Machine. This talk discusses a pragmatic view of Groovy, giving examples of how it can help you with tasks such as file IO, SQL access, the web tier, GUIs, Unit Testing, and more.
