November: Spring Dallas User Group Meeting: Spring Roo Quickstart
Brian Hurley
November 18th, 2009
TOPIC: Spring Roo Quickstart
6:30 to 7:00 Pizza
7:00 Main Meeting
ABSTRACT: Spring Roo <http://www.springsource.org/roo> is the latest,
and in my opinion most interesting, product to come from SpringSource.
Spring Roo is a rapid application development tool. Think AppFuse
<http://appfuse.org/display/APF/Home> meets Grails
<http://www.grails.org/> and mix in some Maven and built-in testing tools.
This talk will be an introduction to Spring Roo. You’ll leave knowing
what Roo is, how to use it, and where to go to learn more.
