Re: [jug-discussion] Upcoming meetings
You had me at Grails + JSON, but lost me at GWT. BTW I think showing the scars will be sufficient. ;) If its not too much of a spoiler, can I ask what drove the GWT decision? -T *** Todd R.

Re: [jug-discussion] Upcoming meetings
I vote for Grails + JSON + GWT. I like the idea of hack night, but we should save that for a night when we can't line up a presenter (IMO).

Re: [jug-discussion] Upcoming meetings
I'll be there and ready for public humbling. I haven't been to a JUG in a while. Where when are the meetings these days, or at least the meeting of the 11th? The application (as I'll explain) is a basic CRUD application, but also my customer (though savvy is not quite savvy enough) needs to create and maintain a LOT of forms for his end users. I mean on the order of 100 or more. And, be able to update them himself semi-regularly: once a year, or more. Thus, he needs a form building tool that integrates with the end-user part of the app. I chose GWT because it seemed to be well supported and easy to integrate with a grails app. The prospect of learning both JavaScript AND Groovy in one project seemed a little two daunting. Working with GWT isn't so bad, but it's a little verbose. The project is still a work in progress, but I'll be sure to have a working demo. If people are in a hacking mood, I think I can even accommodate that, since it's a RESTful interface, it should be simple enough if we can setup a network. -Travis All true benefits are mutual.

It is held at VMS which is at 5151 E. Broadway Suite 450 I'll be out of town but Scott, among others, will be around to make sure all can get in.
