Thank you to all who showed up for yesterdays presentation. The slides are available at http://groovy.nu/ucb. The first half hour of the presentation is available here: https://bluejeans.com/s/8ddD/ but AirBears2 decided to cut the connection shortly after about half an hour, stopping the Bluejeans recording.
Todays live coding session was canceled due to nobody showing up, so there will be no recording of that session available. I am considering doing it as an online presentation at a later time. Stay Groovy!
