Welcome

Welcome to our blog about all kind of topics that are related to software development. We blog about:

SOA, BPM, EDA, ECM and all the other buzz words. Beware some post might not be so common as you think. We are not scared to go against main stream thoughts.

Technologies like java, maven, springframework, OSGi and front end technologies and frameworks like jQuery, DWR, Flex.

Finally to make this happen we need tools and of course a Mac (well some of us do). So we blog about that as well.

Analyzing beet results with groovy

logo_groovy.pngThe recent weeks I have been playing around with grails. When working with grails you have to learn groovy as well. Sometimes I am just amazed by the easiness of doing things with groovy.

In this blog post I go step-to-step through a solution that analyzes the xml file and plots the results in a chart generated with jfreechart.

Doing grails, yes I like it

I attended a talk at the spring experience. Back than I liked it, tried it, but did not really use it. By now a lot has changed, most of all very good tool integration by intellij. Last week I had the change to go to a training, now I am motivated to start using grails more often.

This post I will talk you through a grails application I have created for a project of mine. I also take you through some of the things I learned last week. Finally I’ll show you that you can create a google app engine application using grails. There are ways to create grails applications, I’ll show you how to do it using the latest intellij 9 beta release.
