New Features in Grails 3

Friday, 1:30 PM

This talk will cover the changes made to the Grails framework in moving to version 3, which is now based on the Gradle build system and uses Spring Boot under the hood.

In addition to those topics, we’ll discuss profiles, create a RESTful web service, and use the newly included Geb testing mechanism.
