April DFW2GUG Meeting - No More Ugly 

While the second part of our peek into Scala was scheduled for this month, unfortunately Brent was called away on business.  Tim, next month's speaker, has graciously stepped up and will present on using Twitter Bootstrap with Grails for your enlightenment this month!

Abstract: 

While Grails has brought increased productivity and happiness to Java

developers, our users still end up getting sites that look like they

were made by developers for developers. Enter Twitter Bootstrap.

Bootstrap is an open source project created by the guys and girls from

Twitter that brings together a best-practices based CSS which

incorporates user interface components and a grid layout. Combined,

these make it easy for non-designers to create consistent, responsive,

and, dare say, good looking websites for our users. This talk with

cover the basics of Bootstrap and how to make use of it in a Grails

application, including layout and some of the core widgets.

     

Bio: 

Tim Sporcic is a software architect with Credera. He has over a decade

experience in Java, ranging from embedded systems to large enterprise

systems in the financial services space. He has been playing with

Grails on various small projects for the past year. He has been in the
